AD61 by Chris Collingwood. Cavalry and Legionaries (plus Auxiliary Hamian Archer) of the XIVth Legion. |
Ambush of the IX Legion by Brian Palmer. Driven by revenge for the brutal treatment she had suffered at the hands of the Romans, Queen Boadicea led the Iceni and her allies the Trinovantas in open revolt. The IX Legion Hispania was despatched to suppress the insurrection but were ambushed en route. Only the commander Petilius Cerealis, and a handful of cavalry escaped. |
Julius Caesar Crossing the Thames, Summer 54BC by David Pentland. After an unsuccessful attempt to invade Britain the previous year, Caesar returned in force. Included among his large ranks was one Indian elephant, a beast unknown to his enemy, and as it transpired a dramatic psychological weapon which succeeded in breaching the Britons defensive position on the River Thames. |
