Late 400’s lost about 40,000 in north England from Picts and Scots invasions. Foolish move. Roman Britain was a very peaceful and prosperous place. Legions evacuated about 480.

Was this a Goth Invasion? I think they should’ve brought more Romans…They will likely need them.

Wow, I guess those boots were really made for walking, hahaha. Maybe they can all sing a song to make the marching go by faster. 🙂

Guess attitude on “a walk in the park” depends on which side of the water you live on; mountains and snow or sun and palm trees.
