At 18:30 they refer to Claudius as a, “dottering idiot”. It’s strange that he has that opinion because everything I’ve read about him said he was an able, effective and energetic emperor and a pretty accomplished man overall.

[@pauloboyle477]

He was born with a limp and partial deafness. At the time made him a “halfwit” which saved him from being executed young when they purged the royals

I bet the Romans built a three or four week fort there while they reconnoitered their situation. Then they moved on. The subsequent farms, tiling, and garden building tore up the evidence.

it could very well have been an overnight camp for a legion

SPQR

One of the ways I would have done a theory angle on that site is: There is one thing about having a temporary camp, be it a month... rather than a full fort during the invasion start. But once the area is pacified, do they need a fort with garrisoned troops there? Is there a nearby port and so on to protect. If there isnt, then why plonk resources and troops on that hill - just for giggles? Why a fort there?

The eu/un must be for all western countries to keep our European cultural, heritage, identities and for our children to have a safe peaceful culture Marxist dictatorship free future.
