Hi all<br>
Another newbie to the forum here. I have a question which has always intrigued me to do with the invasion of Britain and Vespasian's campaign in the South.<br>
<br>
The account of Vespasian's campaign specifically mentions the Isle of Wight. Yet there is no, as far as i'm aware, supporting archaeological evidence of any military activity on the island.<br>
Then i saw in the local paper a while ago mention of the discovery of a possible marching camp site near Brading. The article was actually about the recent TimeTeam program from the Island and seemed to just mention it in passing.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any further information on the subject?<br>
<br>
