Featuring historian Dr Simon Elliot and Roman reenactor David Richardson, this video focusses on the early stages of the invasion, once the Roman commander Aulus Plautius had made a successful landing in Kent. Ray gets up close with the armour and weapons carried by a Claudian legionary, before heading to the Roman fort at Richborough, believed to be the site of the Roman marching camp from the first day of the invasion.
