Roman Britain 43 AD Postcard

Roman Britain 43 AD Postcard

Lovely Victorian era map of Britain at the time of the third Roman invasion of 43 AD, under Emperor Claudius. This ancient map is of special historical significance. After 9 years of war against Britain, Caractacus, the leader of the Britons, was captured and dragged to Rome in chains, where he refused to surrender or to beg for his life or his freedom. It was during this invasion that the settlement Llyn-din, along the Thames, being difficult for Roman tongues to pronounce, was re-named London. The Britons, like their leader, refused to surrender or give up their fight and thus, it was decided by Rome that the powerful Druids were responsible for urging the Britons to continue to fight despite almost complete conquest and that the Druids must be crushed. The Druids, men, women and children alike, were butchered and then burned in their own sacred fires, by the Romans, on the isle of Anglesy, just off the coast of Wales, to which they had retreated. This slaughter broke the spirit of the Britons, completed the Roman conquest and ended Druidism as a major organized faith, forever. This vintage historical map illustration is from an antique 1887 history text book.

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
