I too have read 'Romans in the Vale of Glamorgan' by Karl-James Langford.
I was amazed by the amount of new information it contained, as very little of it had previously emerged in the thirty odd years I have researched this subject.
Mr Langford puts the Roman invasion of Wales at 150 BC, when I had always believed they were concentrating their attentions closer to Italy at this time. He also extends the import of Christianity into Wales back to 53 AD, far earlier than previously believed, even by the most dedicated of Vatican scholars.
I think it would be a good idea if Mr Langford's book (ISBN 0 9529394 0 1) was reviewed on this site, as it has the potential to totally revise British, and possibly European, history.
Perhaps the archaeologist summarily dismissed by Mr Langford for not wearing a smart safety helmet in the middle of a field might like to add his views on its author.
