@caitlinrgreen 'Keep the foreigners offshore': Aethelbert sent Augustine to Thanet. Perhaps a really ancient Kentish tradition? Great post
@davidgmwilson Thanks! :) And yes, absolutely---quite a few of the coins from Ebbsfleet too, cf. Hengest/Horsa etc!
@caitlinrgreen Interesting to think how hard rounding the North Foreland would have been with one square sail and some oars. Vital Wantsum.
@davidgmwilson Never sailed, but Wantsum def looks like a major advantage for the site! v much kind of site Phoenicians seem to have liked!
@caitlinrgreen is there anything that old underneath Richborough?
@davidgmwilson evidence of pre-conquest activity there; there's also a 2ndC BC coin of Cyzicus, but no Carthaginian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyzicus
