Publisher Description:
The 'ROMAN INVASION OF BRITAIN' tells the story of Beric, the young Briton chieftain of a sub-tribe of the Iceni around Anno Domini 61. As a child he was sent to the Romans as a hostage, and has spent his days among them growing to appreciate their culture and taking copious notes on how to fight them. Beric and his fellow tribesmen bristle under Roman's vicious rule during the reign of the tyrant emperor Nero. When Boadicea, queen of a powerful tribe of Britons, and her daughters were disgraced by the Roman authorities, the Britons join together in an ill-fated revolt. Can the Britons overcome their powerful Roman masters this time? When Beric is taken to Rome as a prisoner, will he survive the brutal gladiator school and fights, and can he ever return to his homeland? This narration features some of the earliest proceedings and folks recorded in British history, the bizarre spectacle of the gladiators, the pitiless persecution of the Christians, the burning of Rome, and illustrates why Nero was loved by some but despised by many. Nero gave the Romans bread, wine, and games, but he had to take his own life at the end anyway
