The Revolt of Pecationus

Gaius mescius quintus, decius, earned the everlasting love and respect of philip. He had spent his entire life serving the empire as a distinguished senator. His bold and correct reading of the situation in moesia only increased that standing. But just because the rebellion had collapsed, it did not mean that philip and his regime were out of danger. The troops may have lost their nerve this time, but that does not mean that they had lost their nerve forever.
