New evidence for annihilation of Ninth Legion in Britain?
#57
With regard to 'The British War' it might be worth noting that there seems to be quite a lot of evidence of damaged military kit dating to the first quarter or early second quarter of the second century AD in the north of Britain, the most obvious examples being the damaged weapons and equipment which constituted the majority of the Corbridge Hoard (now apparently dated to the early 130s) and the Carlisle manicae, which had been created out of the cannibalised remains of numerous damaged manicae and whose deposition also dates to the late 120s or early 130s.
It might be useful for Mike Bishop to intervene at this point.
