Like many here, I was looking forward to a quality programme in Boudicca but found it a total waste of viewing time. Why on earth did they have the Iceni and Romans speaking in modern idioms? Did you notice how nice and white and regular were Boudicca's teeth?? Looked like an advert for toothpaste. Anyway, on the Roman front there was much more interesting news today. A metal detector(ist?) has discovered a Roman metal pan in Staffs. It is inscribed with an engraving of Hadrian's wall and a person's name. It is thought to be a retirement gift to a Roman soldier who would have done duty on the Wall. What a blast from the past - wonder what his leaving do was like?
