Description Two thousand years ago Julius Caesar came, saw and conquered southern Britain, but just where he landed and the precise routes his army marched through the south of the country have never been firmly established.
Without doubt, this groundbreaking study is certain to prompt much discussion and reappraisal of this fascinating subject..
Roger Nolan\'s research has also enabled him to identify the place mentioned in Caesar\'s Commentaries, where the Roman legions were ambushed by the British whilst foraging and where a large battle then ensued - the first known land battle in Britain.
These marching camps are placed almost equidistant from each other and, most importantly, are in a straight line between the coast and Wheathampstead.
This advance took Caesar across the Thames to Cassivellaunus\' stronghold at Wheathampstead in present-day Hertfordshire.
After years of careful analysis, Roger Nolan has painstakingly traced not only the places where the Romans landed, but he has also discovered four temporary marching camps Caesar\'s army built as it drove up from the south coast in pursuit of the British tribal leader, Cassivellaunus.
Numerous sites have been suggested for the Roman landings of 55BC and 54BC, yet, remarkably, the exact locations of the first major events in recorded British history remain undiscovered - until now.
