The belief that legio VIII Augusta , either in whole or in part, had a share in the invasion of Britain in A.D. 43 has received notable support in recent years, not least from Professor S. S. Frere in Britannia . The participation of the legion is regarded as a probability by D. R. Dudley and G. Webster in both their recent books, and has been endorsed by the editor of Some inscriptions from Roman Britain , where the epigraphic evidence is given. The idea received no mention in the definitive works of either Collingwood or Richmond, and was rejected long ago by Ritterling. A fresh examination may therefore be in order of the actual evidence for the presence of the legion in Britain at this time
