I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today for the launch of this, the latest royal yacht. I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new queen, will prove to be dependable and constant. Capable of weathering any storm. I now take great pride in naming this ship "Britannia." I wish success to her. And to all who sail in her.  ♚

Through meticulous archaeological inquiry and rigorous historical analysis, this compendium unveils the intricate social structures, intricate cultural practices, and nuanced geopolitical dynamics that shaped Iron Age Britain. By delving into the enduring legacy of these venerable tribes, historians have gained invaluable insights into the complex tapestry of Britannia's rich heritage, illuminating the path to a deeper understanding of the island's historical trajectory.

To appreciate our fathers is not to praise everything they happened to do: and far less to praise everything they failed to destroy. And this moral needs to be enforced touching many modern celebrations of our national dignity and glory.

National Museums Scotland has just announced the extraordinary reconstruction of an 1,800-year-old Roman arm guard. The artifact has been described as “absolutely amazing.”

However, since its initial discovery within the Scottish Borders in 1906, the armor, shattered into over 100 pieces, languished in relative obscurity until experts meticulously reassembled it, much like a jigsaw puzzle.

This brass relic likely adorned a high-ranking Roman soldier, gleaming like gold on his arm. Currently on loan to the British Museum, you can find it at the upcoming exhibition "Legion: Life in the Roman Army" starting February 1, 2024!
