Great find!
Romans in Britain:
IMHO Boudicca's Rebellion against the Romans is probably the defining moment for the English anti-authoritarian behaviour which is part of the English psyche.
The Romans usually behaved very smart on foreign soil occupied by them.
They married their leaders with the daughters of the chiefs of the foreign tribes and in any way corrupted the leadership of occupied territory to adopt their life style which was way better: Public baths like still in Bath,toilets where the stink vanishes, etc. etc.
London e.g. was founded by the Romans and is still there.
But in Britain the Romans did not follow their concept but they
exploited and terrorized the land and the people and killed hundreds of thousands of people. Why? Their other concept worked very well.
"The layer of scorched debris ...has been labelled the "Boudiccian destruction horizon" by the archaeologists, a reddish brown ash consisting mainly of incinerated wattle-and-daub peppered with molten glass, broken tile and blackened pottery".
It is not the Battle of Britain in 1940, it is Boudicca's rebellion AD 60-61 which has a bigger meaning imo.
The history about the Romans fight against the German tribes is also interesting.
