Romans in Ireland?

[Robert Vermaat]

Sorry :oops: my bad what i ment to say was Chester's (deva) was the biggest fort in the western Roman world (At 60 acers). I got the info from watching A new show on the History Channel (Brittan's lost megger fortress) and i was reading a book Chesters City of Eagles i think the name of the book was.

Well, 60.9 to be exact, which was indeed larger than the other legionary fortresses in Britain, but since it was meant as the central base for conquest and pacification of Britain, the size should not be surprising. Inchtuthil was 53.73 acres, not that much smaller.

But then, there are a lot of temporary camps larger than this, ranging up tp 130 acres, as you can read in this article about temporary camps.

Thats is un-true Ireland had gold and some of the best gold smith's in the world. irish gold was found as far as france i think,

No doubt about that, but one can doubt if the supply of gold alone would be reason enough for an occupation.
