(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Human Rights, Social Welfare, and Greek Philosophy Legitimate Reasons for the Invasion of Britain by Claudius By Tomoyo Takahashi University of California, United States Abstract- In 43 AD, the fourth emperor of Imperial Rome, Tiberius Claudius Drusus, organized his military and invaded Britain. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the legitimate reasons for The Invasion of Britain led by Claudius. Before the invasion, his had an unfortunate life. He was physically distorted, so no one gave him an official position. However, one day, something unimaginable happened. He found himself selected by the Praetorian Guard to be the new emperor of Roma. Many scholars generally agree Claudius was eager to overcome his physical disabilities and low expectations to secure his position as new Emperor in Rome by military success in Britain. Although his personal motivation was understandable, it was not sufficient enough for Imperial Rome to legitimize the invasion of Britain. It is important to separate personal reasons and official reasons.

A version of this article was delivered as an oral presentation, entitled ‘In the footsteps of Quintus Caecilius: visiting Roman Britain with the Cambridge Latin Course’, at the American Classical League Centennial Institute in New York in June 2019. The article provides an overview of the sites, attempts to situate them in the geography and history of Roman Britain, and considers how such knowledge might be of benefit to teachers and learners.

  • Field School in British Archaeology
    Field School in British Archaeology Director’s Contact Dr. Scott Mclean, [email protected] Overview Over the course of six weeks, students will study both Roman and Medieval Britain and take part in over 60 hours of hands-on excavation providing an introduction to archaeological field work. In addition to the on-going digging of our 12-14th century site on castle grounds, a new site at nearby Pevensey will be added. Digging will commence in the yard of a church dating back to 1206 that sits on the grounds where William the Conqueror landed in 1066. Significant time will be spent visiting some of the greatest archaeological sites in Britain including York, the Roman Baths, and Fishbourne Roman Palace. Program Schedule 2014 May 9 – June 21 Enrolment / Deadline 20 students. Apply by March 15th, 2014 Courses CLST 206/3.0 Roman Britain This course aims to provide students with an introduction to the history and archaeology of Roman Britain, from the invasions of Julius Caesar to the Roman withdrawal in 410 A.D. With the Claudian invasion of 43 A.D. Britain was drawn into the Roman sphere of influence and the Iron Age culture of the Celtic speaking peoples inhabiting the island was forever changed. The British Isles was rapidly transformed through war and subjugation, the development of towns and villas, increased trade and manufacturing and through integration into the Roman Empire. HIST 332/3.0 Medieval Britain This course combines history and archaeology in order to better understand the development of the British Isles during a formative period in its history.

  • Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4Ppendix 1 Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible
    Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4ppendix 1_ Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Roman Villas in Britain The existence of some villas can be held to be self-evident: they have been at least partially excavated and shown to be rectilinear masonry buildings, perhaps with baths, mosaics arid hypocausts. However, before a site is actually excavated - or given a thorough geophysical or successful aerial survey - it is difficult to discern its exact nature. Any surface scatter of Roman artefacts, particularly building debris, may indicate the presence of a villa. This presents the thorniest of problems to the compiler of a catalogue of possible villa sites, for a field scatter of Roman material may also represent the site of a temple, a mansio, a small town, a 'native settlement' or even a heavily manured field. Yet field scatters must be taken into account, because they may prove to be villas. They are certainly likely to prove to be a settlement of some sort. Even a light field scatter belies a much greater amount of material beneath the surface. Ebcperiments by Ainmerman (1985) and Parker- Pearson (pers. comm.) on the relationship of surface to sub-surface artefact densities have demonstrated that a relatively small amount of material - as little as 2% of the total - is present on the surface at any one time. These results have been confirmed with Roman material in Britain by Gaffney and Tingle (1985) at Maddle Farm (BK27) and by Hayfield at 1harram (NK37)(pers. Comm.).

  • CDAS – Chairman's Monthly Letter – November 2019 Fieldwork Petworth
    CDAS – Chairman’s Monthly Letter – November 2019 Fieldwork Petworth Despite the weather we did manage to complete the geophysical survey of the Sports Field and the trial trenches in front of the Doric Temple. One of the trial trenches revealed the Capability Brown path that ran to the South of the Doric Temple. It was quite a substantial path made of stone fragments and broken brick. From the work we have done this year and last it should be possible for the National Trust to lay a path following the same route. The Geophys of the Sports fields revealed pathways that were last in use in the late 19th C, the site of old kennels and previous locations for the football pitch. We conclude that there is no archaeological reason for not developing the sports facilities at the site. Fishbourne We are planning to do a Resistivity Survey of a field to the west of Blackboy Lane, Fishbourne during week commencing 25th November. A request for volunteers has been sent out to all members. We expect to find a Roman Road and possibly some other structures.
