It happened at Rome.
Don´t you think that it has always been easy for me to believe in Christmas, the Birth of our Redeemer´s commemoration. During my childhood, that idea of an infant God, was the most natural thing in the world. Gifts, candies, the joy of my early years, made of December a wonderful time. But, as reasoning opened our eyes, we began to think it over... it was not all happiness! In fact, we discovered that so many people never knew the slightest joy on a Christmas eve.

Roman Britain and the Rebellion of Boudica (part 2)
| An old map from Britain Watling Street marked in red |
Flying with our imagination, we can see quite a scene. A decisive battle was going to happen: at the dawn, in the proximity of an old country road, the romans were waiting for Boudica. On a slightly sloped field, with a ravine by the side and a dense forest behind. Gaius Suetonius, the roman governor, chose those positions, to protect his flank and rearguard. Thus he arranged his ten thousand men with all the skill of a great strategist.
