Meanwhile - having been fairly convinced by the Autumn 60 revolt idea, I'm now swinging back the other way... There's a note in Agricola 18.1 that Agricola arrived in Britain in midsummer and found the troops lazing about, convinced there would be no fighting that year - which suggests the campaign season began before midsummer (June/July?).
Also, T mentions the reinforcements arriving from the Rhine before he says that Paulinus put his auxiliaries in new winter camps, implying they arrived during the same season as the battle, which as the seas close to shipping in late September would mean the battle was in midsummer...
I think at this point I'm just eager for any new ideas that might shake our thinking up a bit!
