That means we will have to look elsewhere for the Battles of Hastings, Bannockburn and Bosworth, not to mention Cannae and Pharsalus, as no bodies have been found at any of those sites!
Finding bones or other remains at pre-modern battle sites is extremely rare. Rarer still to find any from an age which practised widespread cremation.

Yeah, I had a listen to that a while back. Bit wonky on the chronology, I thought. Don't they have Boudica burning London before Suetonius arrived, or something?
