What do you remember about the show?

Thanks Foxley. Would it be possible for there to be two shows that had all the above? (both fictionalised)??

You'd think so (I'd actually say nigh on impossible given the level of specificity), and I know that Britannia has all those plot points and tropes, but I'm actually certain the one I'm referring to wasn't that show.

Why do you say that?

Because the one I'm talking about definitely wasn't written by Jez Butterworth, or any of the other people who've taken the credit for creating Britannia. But surely there can't have been two independent shows written, that shared all those plot points and characters (as listed in the original post), one started just after the other was completed?

The Last Kingdom is the only other thing and that isn't 43AD.

"Who've taken the credit for cresting Britannia" makes it seem like this whole post is some thinly veiled accusation that Jez Butterworth stole the concept of Britannia from someone? Like, why would you word it that way if that wasn't your intent?

Thanks Nepworks. I am currently doing some research (academic) based on these exact plots points (/tropes) and am genuinely interested to know whether the show could be identified and classed as being unique based on those given in the OP. I am certain, by the way, that the ones listed came from another work, written just prior to Butterworth being drafted in to re-write Britannia at the last moment (or rather they subsequently featured in both works). I am not accusing anyone of anything, btw, but am absolutely interested in the thoughts and opinions of others.
