The academic consensus that the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43
landed at Richborough, Kent, has been challenged in recent years.
Proponents of the alternative hypothesis that it took place at or
near Fishbourne, West Sussex, have claimed that this makes better
sense of the account in the ancient sources. This volume asks what
sense the Fishbourne hypothesis makes in terms of the options for
the naval strategy of the crossing. After considering the
respective archaeological and topographical contexts of the sites,
the work discusses general logistical issues as well as the type of
ships available to the invading forces and assesses the evidence
for their performance. The study concludes by looking at the
choices facing the Roman naval planners of AD 43.
