sry ,just seen the RTW thread.DOH !

i live in england and i want nothing to do with the EU,our government is trying to convince us that its a good idea but all we see is corruption and a waste of tax payers money.

hi guys,does any one play the game ROME TOTAL WAR by Activision? itd really good,i just conquered spain.lol.

in ad 60,breaca,war leader of the eceni and hailed as boudica,bringer of victory.led the native celtic tribes in a final bloody revolt against the occupying armies of rome.it was the culmination of nearly twenty years of resistance against an occupying force that sought to crush a vibrant,complex civilization and replace it with laws,taxes and slavery of the roman empire. dreaming the bull begins in AD47 as boudica and her warriors continue their hard fought resistance against the roman legions occupying Britannia. set against her is Julius Valerius,an officer in the Auxillary cavalry,whose increasing brutality in the service of his emperor and his god can never shield him from the ghosts of his past. this is a heart stopping story of war and of peace:of love,passion and betrayal:of druids and warring gods,where each life is sacred and each death even more so;and where boudica and the man who calls himself julius valerius learn the terrible distances they must travel to fulfil their own destinies. i enjoyed these books the third one is out in november i think.

hi there,i only read historical fiction im afraid,manda scott is a good one to read her boudica series(2 up to now)dreaming the bull and dreaming the eagle are excellent.

thanks primuspilus, i dont live far from the wall and i visited it many times when i was young.Its impressive as a ruin,it must have been a magnificant sight when it was built. thanks for the info.

hello there,i just like to say how much i enjoyed your site i really learned a lot from it.i live in england and i was wondering if any of you guys have heard of a roman legion which was supposed to have vanished in britain.i think it was the 9th legion but i dont remember,i think its allined with the merlin tales. any ideas much appreciated,thanks. again,very cool site.
