I tend to agree the lack of natural resources would suffice as a reason for the Romans never taking the Island, but how would they have known this without exploring the whole isle? Would they have just taken the locals word for it if they did in fact bring an expedition over? How would they know this? I am all for this theory of lack of gain for their conquests, but how would they have figured this out without exploring the whole island?
