Even so, Roman brutality united many smaller tribes to rise up. Roman brutality triggered the Boudicca revolts which almost worked.

The whole concept is that brutality leads to unrest and unrest leads to inserection. If Boudicca had been able to overlook her own hubris she could have eventually defeated the roman army through attrition. In time it's all about some inserectionist getting lucky.

"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
