cast some light on recovery from the revolt in 62AD   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhm-n09PGEI&t=132s

Thanks - that's actually a very nice little video (albeit a bit 'corporate'!). We've discussed the tablets themselves a couple of times, I think, mainly due to the date thing.

I still don't see why a trader coming to London in October AD62 means the place must have been destroyed over two years before, though - a wooden town can presumably get up and running within a few months...

Anyway, since the last time we discussed this I've become more or less convinced that the revolt probably did happen in late AD60, with most of the fighting happening in October or November, but it was only in early 61 that the full report reached Rome and the imperial authorities took action (which is why Tacitus describes it all under that consular year).
