The Roman occupation of Britain is probably one this most fascinating periods for me. Recently there has been a glut of novels telling stories of the Roman army in Britain and these are currently filling my Kindle Library, also have a pile of the latest textbooks on the subject on a table next to me to check the facts, so as to not to get too carried away by the fiction. A bad habit of mine, buying books for background information on a work of fiction I'm reading, Not sure if we will be able to rely on the objectivity of the latest interpretations of history. I can't say I would have survived those brutal times but safe and comfortable as I am now, I wonder if it is really living.
