Very interesting new thoughts
Thanks Dave for posting.
An interesting piece on Calleva Atrebatum, near modern Silchester, and the themes of trying to estimate population sizes, and 'urban' expanses, when remains are either underneath a continuously occupied site or like Calleva Atrebatum, a site where much building was wooden (so left no visible to the eye stone layers) and 'modern' scanning systems have not been extensively used.

Does this also feed back into the importance of Roman Britain for the Empire. Adding to the evidence that there was more here that needed protecting by the legions than history, as accepted and presented in the last century, would perhaps have lead us to believe.
