A fascinating summary, thank you. As it happens, I am nearing the completion of a trilogy on Caesar's attempts on Britain, based not only on his Gallic War reports but also on my firm opinion that their purpose was self-aggrandisement in the eyes of the people of Rome and the Senate. Therefore not to be trusted! Would-be dictators still use this approach today...
I'm just waiting on the publisher (Sapere Books) for a launch date for The Britannia Conspiracy book 1 while reaching the climax of book 3! A shame Cassie probably couldn't even write as his account might have been gold dust...

I agree. There is certainly a lot of exaggeration in the claims (4000 chariots.... hah). Will keep on the lookout for the trilogy!
