There does seem to be a conection, even if we agree that the movie Arthur got it wrong, between Roman Britannia and the Arthur legends. Somewhere in the fog of history after the last legion pulled out, the seed sprouted that grew into the Arthurian legend. And while Arthur and everything about him may owe as much to Celtic and Anglo-Saxon antecedents, the soil the myth grew in had been trod for three centuries by the hob-nailed caligae.
