Calling all armchair generals! Boudica's Last Stand.

[Nathan Ross]

Prof Bowden tells us we're entirely wasting our time.... It is doubtful any factual information can be derived from the battle descriptions.

Thanks for the update!

To an extent, I tend to agree with the professor. But if we are to follow Tacitus at all, we can at least gain an idea of the shape of the campaign and the general area we should be looking at - close to St Albans and London, on the Roman road network, probably on high ground.

As I never tire of pointing out, the site at Newground near Tring has indeed turned up serendipitous finds by metal detectorists, along with excavated Roman military material, including armour and weapon fragments, of approximately the right date. But it would take a far more thorough and wide-ranging excavation by a professional team to establish anything more than the shadow of a possibility.
