  2. Ok I found it...
    It was from the battle of Wattling Street (60AD), where Queen Boudicca fought against the mighty legions of general Suetonius Paulinus in 60AD

    I really enjoy history and the Greco-Roman & Byzantine periods are by far my favourite!
    But the Roman period in Britain was a bit hazy for me until now.

    The wedge formation that the outnumbered Roman legions (10000) used to defeat a much larger barbaric horde of 230000 at the battle of Wattling street, can also be seen more vividly in the following 3 videos:

    And here is the whole 8 part documentary on Queen Boudicca:

    Interestingly she is mentioned as a Celtic Queen rather than British.
