A fellow newbie!<br>

In answer to your question, the Romans were aware of Britain thanks to the trade the Britons had with the coastal Gauls. As a result there was some trade between Rome and Briton, mostly in slaves if I remember correctly. So they knew that Britain existed, even if they didn't have a truely solid picture of the country. As for exploring Britain, I'd think he'd have Celtic guides to show him around, because there were always local kings ready to ally, men who knew a chance when they saw one.<br>

Julius Caesar is not my main area of focus (Second Punic War for me ) so to the veterans of the board please correct me if I'm wrong. <p></p><i></i>
