Intensified Resistance

In 151 BCE, the Celtiberian resistance against Roman rule intensified. This was a period of significant setbacks for the Romans, foreshadowing the siege warfare that was to come.

The Celtiberian Tactics

The Celtiberians used guerrilla tactics to great effect, launching surprise attacks on the Romans and then retreating into the rugged terrain. These tactics caused significant problems for the Romans, who were used to fighting in open battlefields.

Roman Setbacks

The Romans suffered several setbacks during this period. Their attempts to subdue the Celtiberians were met with fierce resistance, and their losses were significant. These setbacks were a clear indication of the difficulties the Romans would face in the upcoming siege warfare.

The Road to Siege Warfare

The intensified resistance and the Roman setbacks were a prelude to the siege warfare that was to come. The Romans would have to adapt their tactics and strategies to overcome the Celtiberian resistance.
