Abstract:

New survey across the legionary fortress preserved at Lake Farm, Wimborne Minster in Dorset is revealing new evidence about the nature of the Roman invasion and of those who led the advance west into Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, not least of all Vespasian, general of the II Augusta legion who was later to become emperor
