CEREALIS (CERIALIS), PETILLIUS (1st century A.D.) ,
Roman
  general, a near relative of the emperor
Vespasian
 . He is first heard of during the reign of
Nero
  in
Britain
 , where he was completely defeated (A.D. 61) by
Boadicea
 . Eight years later he played an important
part
  in the capture of Rome by the supporters of
Vespasian
 . In 70 he put down the revolt of
Civilis
  (q.v.). In 71, aS
governor
  of
Britain
 , where he had as a subordinate the famous Agricola, he inflicted severe defeats upon the Brigantes, the most powerful of the' tribes of Britain. Tacitus says that he was a bold soldier rather than a careful general, and preferred to stake everything on the issue of a single engagement. He possessed natural eloquence of a
kind
  that readily appealed to his soldiers. His loyalty towards his superiors was unshakable.
Tacitus, Annals, xiv. 32; Histories, iii. 59, 78, iv. 71, 75, 86, v.21; Agricola, 8, 17.
