The Guardian reported that an archaeologist has challenged the long-held view that King Verica persuaded Rome to invade Britain, suggesting the ruler may instead have been a queen. The landing in AD43 of Roman forces led by Emperor Claudius in Kent marked a turning point for Britain, according to the Guardian. Dr Miles Russell, director of archaeological fieldwork at Bournemouth University, is behind the theory, which the Guardian said could offer a fresh perspective on British history if proved correct.
