A proposito di questo titolo

In the early 5th century, the Roman Empire withdrew its legions from Britain, leaving the island to fend for itself. This episode explores the twilight of Roman Britain: the usurper emperors like Magnus Maximus who drained troops for continental ambitions, the increasing raids from Picts, Scots, and Saxons, and the famous 'Rescript of Honorius' telling British cities to look to their own defense. We delve into the archaeological evidence—abandoned villas, hoarded coins, and the mysterious disappearance of Roman administration. Lucas and Luna discuss how the departure wasn't a single event but a slow unraveling, and why the 'End of Roman Britain' set the stage for the Anglo-Saxon world. Key figures include Stilicho, Constantine III, and the shadowy Vortigern. We examine the debate over whether Rome left Britain or Britain left Rome.
