June 209: In the spring of this year, however, the first campaign could have begun, covering the territories north of Hadrian's Wall and then, following the example of Gneo Giulio Agricola himself, over a century earlier, occupying the eastern and southern part of the current Scotland. Before the war the border was Hadrian's Wall.
September 209: The Roman imperial armies pushed further and further north, first as far as the River Tay and the Antonine Wall, then beyond this system of fortifications along the Gask Ridge and even further north (Balmakewan, Glenmailen, Muiryfold, Kintore, Normandykes and Kair house).
January 212: Also this year Severus died in Eburacum (York), the two sons decided to leave the island after signing a new peace treaty with those peoples, which brought the imperial borders back to Hadrian's Wall.
January 211: Severus decided to return to Eburacum due to his infirmity (in fact, it is said that he was transported in a litter during this campaign), after forcing Caledoni and Meati by force to ask for peace, on condition that they abandon a large part of their territory, thus returning to occupy the territories up to the Antonine Wall.
