That is I think the biggest challenge this quest faces,Very good point! There is also a Roman battle in Greece (Pharsalus), where there are around half a dozen accounts describing the location between the river and the hill with reference to a settlement (Old Pharsalus). Yet despite such detail, I am not aware of even one artefact being recovered from the site.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
