 | | Caracella left with a punitive expedition but by the next year his ailing father had died and he and his brother left the province to press their claim for the throne. | | | Furthermore, the Welsh Triads state that Bran the Blessed converted to Christianity, which would mean Christianity was in Britain before Caratacus if Bran is not simply a character from legend. | | | This crisis, sometimes called the Great Conspiracy, was settled by Count Theodosius with a string of military and civil reforms. |

| | Did the Roman invasion of Britain happen in Sussex or Richborough in Kent as generally accepted? |
| | One could be that as it was the original place of invasion or secondly it could be because this was where Claudius decided to land. | | | It was these ditches where sealed material was found indicating that the invasion did indeed take place in Kent, as no other logical reasons can explain why material was found from the invasion point in a defensive ditch. | | | There is no proof that states it was not from the invasion in 43AD. |

| | Using the fragmentary information available, the author attempts to re-construct the Roman order of battle and he uses contemporary logistic information to support his claims. | | | John Peddie, a retired British infantry officer, has attempted to re-construct the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD by extrapolating from the fragmentary accounts of Cassius Dio and Tacitus. | | | I have always been interested in the subject of the Roman Invasion of Britain, and years ago I read both Caesar's account of his attempts along with Suetonius' account of Claudius' successful campaign in The Twelve Caesars. |

| | Roman Britain - the Roman invasion |
| | Britain was regarded with some mystical awe by the Romans, and at first Claudius' troops, 40,000 of them, refused to disembark from the invasion boats. | | | There was no such thing as a unified "Britain", and there was no such thing as a unified Celtic army to meet the Roman advance. | | | Caratacus and his warriors were defeated in a battle near Snowdonia in 51 A.D., and Caratacus himself fled north to the territory of the Brigantes. |

| | The Romans were forced to raise the largest army they had ever had to defeat Queen Boudicca. | | | The Romans killed anyone who had fought them. | | | Although Julius Caesar had visited Britain in 55BC (Before the birth of Christ) and reported that the soil was good, there was plenty of food and people that could be used as slaves, the Romans did not have a large enough army to invade and conquer Britain. |
