"parade
pəˈreɪd
noun
1.
a public procession, especially one celebrating a special day or event."
Hence the "Parade theory" - what most battlefield hunters on this topic think the Iceni did and therefore assert that the location of the battle can be found by tracing a linear route which all Iceni took. This is often further utilised by the association with marching time, i..e we know the route (we don't) we know the numbers (we don't) we know the speed (we don't) therefore the battlefield must be here X (Y).
The alternative is that the Iceni didn't elect to hobble themselves by slavishly following the indirect new fangled Roman Roads whose vertical profile and location didn't suit their Modus Operandi thereby throwing themselves into the hands of the Romans.
The term is also deployed on RAT as a term of derision to pour scorn on all who do not accept my views on the matter and to see if I can get a rise out of Nathan. :twisted:
