Purpose

[edit ]

It's not clear that the supplying of the army of Julian with grain from Britain in 359,[7] or the landings by Count Theodosius in 367-68 was directly related to the Saxon Shore forts, nor that if they were that would preclude the forts being designed principally for use against seaborne raiders. There is also the suggestive title of the command. Too many references here are to primary sources. Deipnosophista (talk) 16:45, 20 March 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Agreed. I've tagged one section extensively about this. -HammerFilmFan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.25.27 (talk) 17:31, 18 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Source from 1849?

[edit ]

For this section:

"The only contemporary reference we possess that mentions the name 'Saxon Shore' comes in the late 4th century Notitia Dignitatum , which lists its commander, the Comes Litoris Saxonici per Britanniam ("Count of the Saxon Shore in Britain"), and gives the names of the sites under his command and their respective complements of military personnel."


I was just reading The Saxons in England pages 13-14 (first new paragraph) and it seems to fit, so would it be a good secondary source? It's from 1849 so it's not the most modern one out there. I'm New to Wikipedia editing so I don't know and didn't want to presume edit anything. Penbaggins (talk) 19:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
