New evidence for annihilation of Ninth Legion in Britain?

[Conal]

For instance in the current books by Stuart Laycock. Apparently his writing were not greated with a wall of scepticism, but with approval from several historian (which he wrote about in our correspondence). I'm not totally of that opinion: I can't, for instance, see the British cities being guarded by armed civilians or otherwise non-military, during the late 4th century. But maybe I'm missing something.

Are you refering to his forthcoming UnRoman Britain or his earlier ones, Britannia - The Failed State: Tribal Conflict and the End of Roman Britain and Warlords: The Struggle for Power in Post-Roman Britain .. the latter two are unread on my to-read shelf a the moment?

I'm sure there was a thread on here about some guy who was harping about a conspiracy of silence about the extent of British kingship during Roman rule, I've traweled but can't track it down.
