Selous Scouts

01Roman officer Volusenus struck Commius in the head with a sword during a supposed parley; Commius escaped and swore never to set eyes on a Roman again.
02Commius later negotiated a formal peace with Mark Antony on the sole condition that he never be required to enter Roman presence.
03He eventually crossed to Britain, founded a dynasty among the Atrebates tribe, and minted coins bearing his own name — the only Gallic rebel to build a kingdom afterward.

Selous Scouts wore enemy uniforms, carried captured weapons, and infiltrated guerrilla camps before calling in fire on themselves. Their pseudo-operations killed an estimated 68% of all insurgents eliminated in the Rhodesian Bush War.
