Osprey Campaign №224. Mons Graupius AD 83.

By AD 83, Roman armies had been campaigning in Britain for 40 years. Throughout southern England, the process of romanization was gathering momentum, as the indigenous tribes welcomed the development of towns and took on some of the trappings of Roman civilization. But, although two generations of Roman soldiers had now fought and died in the province, whole tracts of Wales and northern England still required close military policing. At Rome, the reigning Flavian dynasty wished their legacy to include the final conquest of Britain and its absorption into the Roman Empire.
