Dear Roger and all, If you toss the search terms "camels", "Roman", and "Britain" into a search engine such as google, you'll find many references to Claudius' use of camels and elephants in Britain on the way to Colchester (Camelodonum), although it seems to be more of a "triumph" than anything else--i.e., they don't appear to have been used in battle. Perhaps this was done to scare/impress the locals, who tended to scare them right back with their, um, blue battle array. Best, Cynthia
