Upon what authority, I wonder. I'm not aware of 'Proelium in Via Watlingensis' appearing in any of the sources but, as always, I am open to correction.
I've thought of a game to amuse us in lockdown. 'Battle of Watling Street' can be reduced to the acronym 'BOWS'. What else might these letters stand for? I'll start it off: Based On Wild Supposition. Any other ideas?
