		<description><![CDATA[Researching the Hunnic invasion of Gaul for my next book I discovered that in 451 AD Saxons had fought alongside the Franks as allies of the Romans. These were probably Saxons who had settled in North West Gaul, rather than Saxon raiders from the North German plain. By the time that Aetius, Magister Militum or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Returning from France we passed the Normandy beaches, site of the allied landings (codenamed Operation Overlord) in 1944 and I got to wondering whether some military planner with a strong sense of history had named the landing after Clovis, the first Overlord of the Franks.
I first came across Clodovech (or Clovis as the French call [...]]]></description>

Visiting  France this summer, we came across the Roman Baths at Longeas, a small  hamlet just outside Chassenon in Charente. Regarded by archaeologists as  among the best preserved thermae of their type in the territory  of Ancient Gaul, and possibly in the whole of the former Roman Empire, the baths make [...]]]></description>

We have the  brutal swords and sandals TV epic Spartacus Blood and Sand going great  guns, just ten years after Ridley Scott&#8217;s Gladiator starring Russell  Crowe. And while we may gasp at the macho goings-on of gladiators who  dared to defy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lot of interest at the moment in Kalkriese, the site of the Varian disaster, where three Roman legions, plus cavalry and auxiliaries, were annihilated as they returned to their winter quarters on the Rhine. Since Tony Clunn first discovered the site in the late 1980s over 5,000 artefacts have been discovered including slingbolts, coins, harness [...]]]></description>
