ANCIENT BRITONS

 The British tribes had a truly unmistakable character- painted with blue woad warpaint, sporting spiky, lime washed hair and magnificent moustaches they cut an impressive figure on the field of battle. Supported squadrons of expertly handled chariots and deadly slingers they were a force to be reckoned with as the Legions of Rome found to their cost. Indeed the invasion force was reluctant to even get out off their boats in the face of these blue painted, barbaric foes!

The colourful British tribesmen were warriors unlike anything the Romans had faced before- guided as they were by the dark, mystical Druids from the mist-shrouded isle od Anglesey and who so terrified the soldiers of Rome.

The resistance the British tribes put up against the Roman invasion was the last hurrah for the Celtic people- a people who had dominated Europe for a thousand years, Names such as Boudicea, Caratacus and Prasutagus would be remembered in posterity...
