It is annoying the way they keep doing that - implying, for one thing, that the rebellion lasted for two years, rather than a month or so with a lengthy aftermath.

Meanwhile, I went to the British Museum exhibition last week, and was dreading the inevitable mentions of Mancetter and Paulinus's dash to London... Luckily the matter of the battle site was passed over in silence (along with a lot else, as it happens!)

The exhibition itself is so keen look 'behind the myth' that it neglects to mention over half of what we know - or think we know - about Nero; all that remains is the vague impression that he was probably a decent emperor unfairly maligned by 'elite historians'...
