Trading posts: definately. Smaller expeditions: yes, Invasion: no imo
After the Roman conquest of the southern part of Britain the conquest of what is now Scotland would have been next on the list but it always stayed a secondary (or even tertiary) target as there were more valuable or important tasks. The Flavians tried but Domitian had to stop the operations probably due to the constant losses on the Dacian front. Same things happen later again and again. An invasion in Ireland would only make sense if Britain is conquered completely imho
aren't Irish and scots the same at that time?

Quote:everybody knows that the Irish are the greatest people who ever existed, second being the Scots. That statement is in no way, shape or form related or biased to the fact I am of full Irish decent.....
