Greetings. I once wrote some stuff on Britishness, but perhaps not enough on Romanness. I still like thinking about ethnicities in Roman and early medieval Britain - have a read of my Studia Celtica article, if you so wish. I also like thinking about what happened to the Roman diocese of Britanniae in the fourth and fifth centuries. If I ever find the time, I'd like to write a little book on that topic. Splendid.

Through comparison with other siege entries recorded in the Annals, and discussion of warfare and politics in early medieval Britain, the paper concludes that although Jackson's hypothesis remains possible, there is significant room to doubt the weighty interpretation placed upon these two small words.
