Regarding evidence of destruction at Silchester there is evidence to suggest that the Romans continued to permit the town to evolve along its Iron Age spread. There is also evidence of burning and destruction which could easily have been caused by an accidental fire or indeed deliberately by the Romans in revenge, disregarding tribal identities, in the aftermath of the rebellion. Though the offered theory is of Queen B coming further west than originally thought. Personally I suspect twas revenge.
