Roman \"Abandonment\" of Britain: Fact or Fiction?
#7
Hi Ron,

Yes! A sage comment.

I know that you, I, and Robert Vermaat, might have discussed some of this on the old "Post-Roman Briain Cavalry" channel. There is good reason this present thread should die a quick and natural death. The argument cannot be solved. Too late!

My view-- that Britain was not "abandoned"-- is basically a backlash to Victorian writers who perpetuated the foggy Honorius/Bogusorius letter as gospel truth.
