"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
London Dig Uncovers Roman-Era Skulls
“The skulls likely date from the first century A.D. and may possibly—just possibly—be victims of the famed Queen Boudicca's troops, decapitated during her uprising against Roman rule in 61 A.D.” My girls love her. They plan to name our future home after her, calling it Citadel Boadicea, an alternate spelling/name of the Celtic queen. The Romans brutalized her family and she led a rebellion against them, slaughtering them by the thousands. Before she was done, she destroyed major cities, including what was then called Londinium, today London, and killed 70,000 to 80,000 Romans and their British supporters.
