OK I found it.
It was from the battle of Wattling Street (60AD), where Queen Boudicca fought against the mighty legions of general Suetonius Paulinus in 60AD
I really enjoy History and the Greco-Roman & Byzantine periods are by far my favourite!
But the Roman period in Britain was a bit hazy for me until now.
The wedge formation that the outnumbered Roman legions (10000) used to defeat a much larger barbaric horde of 230000 at the battle of Wattling street, can also be seen more vividly in the following 3 videos:

And here is the whole 8 part documentary on Queen Boudicca:

Interestingly she is mentioned as a Celtic Queen rather than British.
