Great for comms too being at the head of all major river networks and north of Iceni territory.....
Not how Nathans chronology has it.
Prob for the very good reason reason P was not at Church Stowe to launch the campaign against angelsey, which had no large stocks, and was over 200 miles from Angelsey making it logisticaly unable to sustain a legion at that distance.
Logistical reality is very usfull for understanding what was/is strategicaly possible, logiostics determine strategy, both Nathans and your post are examples of explanations that cannot be supported due to logistical reality.
