Ave!
Here is today's episode of Miccus Asto's story in which the destruction of Verulamium (St Albans) is mentioned. I live there now!!
"posted by Miccus Asto March AD61
The Roman town of Verulamium stood in our path and all within it were killed or ran. New fighters are joining us all the time, which is a welcome relief, as I’m starting to get tired. And I’m not the only one. Some of us have been on the move, fighting, camping, facing every day the threat of death, since early March. Thank the gods that my family has not joined me on the march to the north-west. When they arrived I couldn’t believe it was them, it has been so long away from them. And I suppose I must have changed. They certainly say I'm a different man and they didn't even recognise me when I ran up to them.
The battle to end all battles is coming. We all smell of the smoke from a thousand fires, hundreds of burning farms. Sometimes, at night I wonder if we will pay for the violence. But what's done is done. There is no going back and we always knew we were fighting for our lives."
Please keep coming back, Part VII will be here tomorrow.
