In the latest issue of Ancient Warfare (VI.6), there is an article by Gareth Williams on the Boudican Revolt. The main theme is an attempt to argue that there was a degree of strategic planning behind the uprising. The treatment of the revolt itself, therefore, is rather sketchy and disappointing. He accepts without question that Paulinus withdrew up Watling Street and states, "The generally accepted site of the battle is a gorge close to the vexillation fortress at Mancetter." He clearly had not been reading this thread! He does acknowledge, however, that the site has topographical problems. On the whole, I was not impressed.
