Did you wish to mention that when Claudius conquered Briton, the Isle of Wight was conquered by the 2nd Legion under Vespasian? Despite being a humble member of the lower aristocracy, Vespasian's talent led to his being appointed general. He later survived a poetry reading by Emperor Nero, conquered Judea and then became Emperor 69-79 AD during which time he ordered the construction of the Colosseum, founding the Flavian dynasty and became a god on his deathbed.

Excellent suggestion - I see we can link to A32778660 on "conquer Britain" and A3383868 on "the Romans moved in". Then we can put a footnote after "successful" to say "The Isle of Wight was conquered by the 2nd Legion, under the command of Vespasian who went on to become Emperor of Rome in 69-79 AD. "

Thanks <BB<

Just need to tweak Footnote 3:

Gallus (206–253 AD) was Roman Emperor from 251 to 253AD. He is sometimes referred to as Trebonianus Gallus to avoid confusion with Constantius Gallus, who was Cæsar or sub-emperor of the Roman Empire from 351 to 354 AD.

Otherwise, it is all good and ready to go to the next stage smiley - ok

Gah, sorry - Pliny ate my post and then I pasted the wrong version... Footnote 3 needs to be this please:

Gallus (206–253 AD) was Roman Emperor from 251 to 253 AD. He is sometimes referred to as Trebonianus Gallus to avoid confusion with Constantius Gallus, who was Cæsar (sub-emperor) of the Roman Empire from 351 to 354 AD.

Thank you smiley - biggrinsmiley - tea
