This is a really interesting and detailed look and the region and conflicts within it. I can see this being useful for wargammers and historians like. From a military history point of view I would love to get my hands on a falx to see how effect it was against a Roman shield.
All in all a great book which will be a good addition to anyone’s bookshelf.

Chrystal works hard to shine an unbiased light onto these acts of violence in a way that considers the contemporary feelings of the Romans as well as the stark reality that these horrors led to mass pain and suffering for very real, very innocent people. It’s a heartbreaking and important addition to any history lovers book shelf.

A History of Magic and Witchcraft was a well-written, well-researched, informative read. This book offers a good overview and introductory into the history of magic and witchcraft... Frances Timbers does a very good job at explaining what certain terminologies are as well as discussing the different types of magic and witchcraft that played or were a key role within the history of magic and witchcraft world.
I would recommend A History of Magic and Witchcraft by Frances Timbers to anyone who has an interest in this type of history.

As one of history’s greatest generals, Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice in the 1st century BC, but historians have struggled to establish his route without evidence such as temporary marching camps that his vast army would have constructed. Now four camps have been discovered in Kent and Essex, to the excitement of archaeologists and metaldetectorists with potential new areas to explore.
New research is challenging long-held assumptions that, after landing around Walmer and Deal in 55BC and 54BC respectively, Caesar crossed the River Thames in or near present-day London, probably Brentford.

We are accustomed to think of the late Republic as a period in which Rome enjoyed almost uninterrupted military success against foreign enemies. Yet at the start of the first century BC, Rome, outnumbered and out-generalled, faced a hostile army less than a week's march from the Capitol. It is probable that only a swift surrender prevented the city… Read more...
