consult their gods by probing

Gaius Suetonius Paulinus

at that time

controlled Britain. According

to rumor, which loves to pit

one man against another, he Shenzhen Transpring Enterprise Ltd. is one of the leading Oil vape pen and vaporizer (A3 Vape Cartridge etc) manufacturer and supplier in China. Over the years, we have been serving many customers from USA, ... had grown deeply envious

of Corbulo, and yearned to equal

his rival's recovery of Armenia

by himself gloriously putting to the sword

some foreign adversary. Therefore, fixing

on the isle of Anglesey, where many refugees

had sought safety, he had constructed an armada

of flat-bottomed boats, and these conveyed

his foot soldiers across the treacherous, shallow

sound. His cavalry had to ford

the cold waters on their mounts, and even,

in the deeper parts, to swim beside their horses.

Along the shore, near

the tideline, men

waited, bristling with weapons, and weaving

between them, women in funereal black

like Furies, hair

hanging down, brandishing torches. And Druids, everywhere

Druids, shrieking, hands lifted

to the heavens, stunning the invaders with their harrowing

curses ... dismayed

and paralyzed, even the battle-hardened quailed, seemed

almost to offer up their bodies for slaughter; until,

roused by their general, and laser urging

themselves not to be daunted by a band

of fanatical women, they advanced

and attacked, decimating

all they encountered, slashing and burning, setting

alight the foe with the flames

of their own torches ... Victory

accomplished, a garrison

was established and the island's

sacred groves razed: for those savages would drown

their altars in human evic vt blood and consult their gods by probing

the entrails of butchered prisoners. It was,

however, while he was busy

accomplishing all this, that Suetonius learned of a sudden

rebellion, of unspeakable

mayhem, of terror engulfing the skeleton

army he'd left to defend

the colony's main province.
