Ray Mears Retraces the Roman Invasion of Britain in 43AD

How did Claudius' Roman army successfully invade and conquer Britain in 43AD? In this video, bushcraft and survival expert Ray Mears recounts the Claudian invasion of Britain and explores how the Roman army gained a foothold after their initial beach landings. This clip is an extended trailer for the History Hit TV documentary 'The Roman Invasions With Ray Mears: Claudius' Conquest' 👉 https://access.historyhit.com/the-rom... 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.
