Description:
Atherstone Civic society, n.p., 2013. 106p. Ills.(B&W as well as full colour photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Initials stamp, date and personal library mark on free endpaper. Colin Baddeley tells the story of the invasion of AD 43 from the perspective of the half-legionary fortress at Mancetter and the Legio XIV Gemina who inhabited it. He describes the Romans' struggle to colonise Britain against native resistance, which culminated in Queen Boudica's ill-fated attempt to put an end to Roman domination. This battle, which claimed many thousand British lives, is generally thought to have been fought at Mancetter. Roman Mancetter is a vade mecum for the interested amateur, covering Roman military techniques, currency and pottery (especially the mortaria industry of Mancetter). It demystifies terms such as 'Dragendorf' and 'Graufesenque', and explains why the treacherous 'punic' ditch was so named. (Publisher's information).
