Since 1975 much new archaeological evidence has come to light to illuminate the immense
undertaking of Septimius Severus' campaigns in Scotland, allowing for the first time
the true story of this savage invasion to be told. In the early 3rd century Severus,
the aging Roman emperor, launched an immense 'shock and awe' assault on Scotland that
was so savage it resulted in eighty years of peace at Rome's most troublesome border.
The book shows how his force of 50,000 troops, supported by the fleet, hacked their
way through the Maeatae around the former Antonine Wall and then pressed on into Caledonian
territory up to the Moray Firth
