Blood of Rome: Caratacus is the first novel in the Blood of Rome series. It tells the true story based upon historical fact of one man's fight against the most powerful empire in the known world. Forced to fight against overwhelming odds, in a war he didn't desire, Caratacus defies Rome and halts its charge across the lands of Albion, an Island they call Britannia. The Roman Senate thought that it would be a quick, decisive victory against uncivilised barbarians on the edge of their north-western frontier, they were wrong. This is the story of the invasion of Britannia in AD 43 as it has never been told before.

Three years have passed since the Claudian invasion of Britannia in AD 43. Caratacus has been forced to retreat to the west, where he now leads the free tribes against the Roman occupation of their land. From his mountain stronghold, he launches devastating attacks upon the legions seeking retribution for the death of his brother and thousands of Britons. The war has just begun, but it's not a war that Rome is used to fighting as Caratacus' warriors strike and then vanish into the hills and mist. The Roman war machine has been halted in its tracks and now struggles to come to terms with the tactics used by an enemy employing the guile and cunning of a wolf, and the ferocity of a wounded bear, an enemy they believed should have been brushed aside already. As the conflict continues and battles rage, a fight to the death ensues, a fight between a warrior's honour and an empire's strength, both determined upon victory.

Silver bottle labels for oil and vinegar (generally called 'sauce labels') first made their appearance in the 1750s to adorn oil and vinegar bottles either in a two-bottle stand, or in a five-item Warwick cruet. This book reflects the lively interest in sauce labels of several long-standing active members of the Wine Circle and is a book for collectors of silver, glass and recipes. It explores two aspects of antiquarian interest: the collection of silver and of glass. There is an inter-relation between the sauce label and bottle frames, both made of silver, and the various types of glass bottles, decanters and vessels that the labels once adorned. It is the first detailed work to be published on the subject of silver labels to adorn cruets soy, vinegar and pickle bottles in the frame. Frames and their bottles can still be bought for use on the dining table, often in conjuction with flavoured vinegars purchased at the supermarket and then decanted. The book affords an opportunity for the glass enthu

The Wine Label Circle

Silver wine labels first made their appearance in the 1730s to identify the contents of unmarked opaque glass wine bottles. Later they adorned clear glass decanters.

It explores the history of the development of the labels themselves and also of the great collections. It examines in detail makers, places of manufacture and styles. Most of the authors have already written for the journal of the Wine Label Circle on specialist subjects.

Neither an Act of Parliament nor European Regulations, decisions or directives can be read without reference to the special rules of interpretation that have evolved and which govern this and indeed govern legislation in all the other forms that it takes today.
