And I see the Britons are smearing their faces with what looks like blue axle grease again...
Stuff like this makes me want to forget about ancient history altogether and develop an interest in gardening, or something...
First you've got to know that not one Roman writer ever mentions or eludes to Celts in Britain. Next you need to know that Julius Caesar tells us they are one of the three groups of Gaul who the Romans knew very well.
Then you have the comments: "launch invasions ... beaten back by the Celts ... For Rome Britannia represents something very different, the people there are alien".
It's pure babble - and I'm surprised any of the academics consented to take part.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
