The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Richtig. Weil ich mich erinnere, als Caesar seine erste Invasion in Britannien, es war so spät wie im August oder so, und jeder war so, das war das schlechtste Plan. Aber es scheint nicht der gleiche Fall hier zu sein. Okay, also haben sie endlich die Boote geflogen und diese große Armee fliegt über diesen schrecklichen Streit der Wasser, den Kanal nach Britannien. Große Frage.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
You're crossing at night without lighthouses or anything like that. That feels like a recipe for disaster at the start.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Für mehr als 100 Jahre haben die Romer die Britannien kennengelernt, diese mysteriöse Insel auf der Ecke der gewohnten Welt. Jetzt haben sie versucht, sie zu überwachen. It's the Ancients on History Hit. I'm Tristan Hughes, your host.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Sprechen wir mal von Richepaar. Ist das, wenn wir die archäologischen Beweise für die Landung der Invasion-Force sehen?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Today we're covering one of the most seminal moments in Britain's ancient history, the Roman invasion of Britain by the Emperor Claudius, his General Aulus Claudius and their legions in 43 AD. Wir besprechen alles, von der Kontexte hinter der Invasion, weshalb die Roma dann entschieden haben, Britannien zu invadieren, bis zu den Ereignissen der Invasion selbst, z.B.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
So they unload. And how long is it before they start heading inland and they ultimately do face opposition? As you say, it's lovely that they have this beachhead so ships can go to and from there behind them. So they're ferrying in more goods all the time and extending that beachhead. How long before they face opposition? We don't know how long they spend.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
die Angelegenheit des Königs Claudius in Colchester mit Elefanten, um die Verabschiedung der britischen Chefs zu akzeptieren. Also ja, ein romer König, vollständig mit seiner persönlichen praetorianischen Guards und Elefanten, sah einmal die sonnigen Wälder von Essex. Wie immer ist es ziemlich die Geschichte. Nun, unser Gast für heute ist der Autor Duncan Mackay.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Was sollten wir uns im Alltag vorstellen? Sollten wir uns vorstellen, dass wir alles überdrehen, Speer, Schlinge, Schild, heilige Armut? Was sollten wir uns vorstellen?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Should we also mention quickly then also that other kind of psychological weapon that the Romans had, that I'm presuming that Britain certainly didn't have, which was catapults, siege equipment.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
And I guess that other part, which is, I don't want to say special forces, but those scouts, those special units, they also had kind of exploring the terrain in front of the Roman army, the speculatories or whatever they called, you know, these whole different parts of the army that make the legion so formidable alongside these heavily armored individual soldiers.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Duncan ist der Autor des Buches Echolands, eine brillante, in-depth Exploration von Boudicca und ihrer Revolt. Also natürlich wird es auch ein bisschen über Boudicca und die Iceni in diesem Chat sprechen. Duncan ist ein Experte auf diese frühen Jahre der romänischen Regierung in Britannien, insbesondere die initiale Invasion und die Resistenz an die Romänen. Das war ein toller Chat.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
So are there any attempts as the Romans are advancing? So there's this guerrilla warfare kind of harassing the Roman column as they go along, then fading back into the trees and the terrain that they know. Are there any attempts by the Britons to make more of a stand?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
I mean, do they have a defensive position that they decide that they can, they actually probably have good, a potential opportunity of holding the Romans out? They see an advantage there? I mean, do their tactics ever change from guerrilla warfare as the Romans keep marching on?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Duncan ist ein wundervoller Redner und ich hoffe, dass ihr es genießt. Duncan, it is such a pleasure to have you back on the podcast. Welcome back.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Es ist ein interessanter Kampf und ich weiß, wie gesagt, wir fokussieren uns größtenteils auf den Medway und ich glaube nicht, dass wir Zeit haben, das andere Potenzial von, wie du sagst, Paulborough, West Sussex, ich bin geboren in West Sussex und geboren in Chichester, also habe ich offensichtlich ein bisschen Liebe für diese andere Theorie und es sei der River Aran und nicht der River Medway, aber das ist für einen anderen Tag.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Bit of a tangent here, because I've been studying Hannibal recently, and it's interesting how you have either Gallic or Celtic tribes or Iron Age Britons, whoever, if they hear about a large army marching through their lands, they make the stand at a river boundary, because they say it's menacing, it's a defensive place, and sometimes they'll just expect the other army to go away.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
It happens with Hannibal when he's crossing the river Rhône. And similar tactics there. Hannibal sends part of his army upriver, they cross and get behind, and then he's able to cross Rhône. the rest of his army from up front. So it's so interesting that you've got a similar case with the Britons and seeing it as a river boundary. Which brings us on actually to talk about another river boundary.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Because of course you get past this unnamed river, but sooner or later, the Romans, they're going to hit the Thames. So is this another... Es ist, und das ist, wo die verschiedenen Stränge zusammenkommen.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Wundervoll. Es ist jetzt jedes Jahr, seit wir letztes Mal über Boudicca und Boudiccas Kriege gegen die Romen gesprochen haben, die sich mit deinem sehr interessanten Buch Echolands verbinden. Aber was wir jetzt sprechen, was passiert vor der romanischen Invasion in Britannien, das ist ein wichtiger Vorhang dazu, ist es nicht?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Es erklärt, wie und warum die Romen diesen wichtigen Fußabdruck in den Süden Britanniens schaffen konnten.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Elefanten, Tristan. Er bringt supposedly Kriegeelefanten.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Die Könige und ihre Territorien, korrigiere mich, wenn ich falsch bin, gibt es eine Art, die sagt, welche Territorien sie kontrolliert haben?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Und ich vermute, das würde dazu gehören, dass die Leute, denen du viel Arbeit gemacht hast, natürlich mit Boudicca und so weiter, ich glaube, das würde die Iceni betreffen.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
So let's move on now to the end. So it feels like that moment is like the official end of the Roman invasion of Britain, but we can almost see it as a cliffhanger here, Duncan. This isn't the end, is it? There's much more conquest, there's much more fighting to come for the Romans.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
The invasion is at an end, but in regards to the Roman consolidation and expansion in Britain, there's a lot more to come in the years that follow this event.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Absolut. Und so wie das Nahe Norden nie komplett gekämpft ist und dann Hadrian's Wall im 2. Jahrhundert. Es gibt noch so viel mehr zu kommen. Aber Duncan, du hast uns auch schön für den letzten Episode, den wir zusammen gemacht haben, die eine in-depth Exploration der Boudiccas-Revolt war und wirklich, wie schrecklich es war. Das war einer meiner Lieblingsfragen. Das war's für heute.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Duncan, absolutely fantastic. We've gone through so much in so much detail. It's been brilliant. It just goes for me to say thank you so much for taking the time to come back on the podcast today.

The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
I mean, keeping on Caesar then, first of all, isn't it? Because you have those Julius Caesars adventures to Bristol, but conquest is not really on his agenda, shall we say, at that time, or conquering the whole island. It is for him just to say, just as he did when he crossed the Rhine into Germany, no one's done this before. I have, adding to my reputation as an extraordinary person.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
So when we get to the invasion we're talking about today, this is a completely different Kessler fish to Caesar some 100 years earlier.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
I think we're going to be coming back to Colchester in a bit of time and I know that it's a very important part of the work you've done, Duncan, as well. But are there these nodes of areas in southern Britain where these traders were going to and from?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
So in that period before the Roman invasion, if you were in that area, you would see more Roman imported goods or more Roman traders coming for whatever Britain's got on offer that the Romans want. You see more of them in those areas compared to other areas that say further inland.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Der Legston-Bereich ist einer meiner Lieblingsstörungen von Iron Age Britain. Du hast es schon in Motion gesagt. In Iron Age Britain, sagen wir mal, 42 AD, Was sieht es dann so aus? Ist da diese dominante Macht im Südwesten Britanniens, die sich an dieser Zeit ein bisschen bedroht fühlt?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Was wissen wir über das ganze Staat von Iron Age Britannien, vordem die Romäner entschieden haben, sich zu invadieren?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
And I'm guessing Claudius himself doesn't carry it out. Who does he task with overseeing the invasion of Britain?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Und Cassius Dio Duncan, also für unsere Zuhörer, er schreibt im 3. Jahrhundert, nicht wahr? Im frühen 3. Jahrhundert AD, also über 100 Jahre nach der Invasion.
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Und Tassius schreibt nahe zu dem Zeitpunkt, aber wie du sagst, wir haben keine Tassius-Account, wir haben diese Account von Cassius Dio, die er später schreibt, aber wie du sagst, wir sollten immer noch geblasen sein, dass wir diese Account haben. Also was sagt er?
The Ancients
The Roman Invasion of Britain
Es ist der 43. Jahrhundert. Eine große römische Armada fliegt über die perillöse Strecke der Wasser, die heute der englische Kanal ist. An Bord dieser Schiffe sind Tausende von Soldaten, Infanterie, Kavallerie, Siege-Equipment, Ingenieure, du nennst es. Dies ist eine Invasion-Force.
The Ancients

This is an ex-slave who's been freed, isn't he? You see them associated with some of these Julio-Claudian emperors, these kind of advisor figures. Very much so, a Greek ex-slave.
