Roman \"Abandonment\" of Britain: Fact or Fiction?
#1
I think I just got myself into hot water on the last post to the 5th Century Roman Timeline.:mrgreen:

I stated that Britain was still a Roman province in 470. Am I wrong or right?
A friend of mine, my Legio III commander, also believes something similar and swears the legionary standards remained in Britain until recalled by Emperor Romulus in 476.

I figure this is good for a nice debate. So let's have a go at it.:grin:

PS: no drawn swords allowed, so we can keep it bloodless.:wink:
