What do my fellow Romans think about Hibernia (Ireland) and why the Romans never really took a pop at it. Agricola said that it would take a one legion and plus some Auxillary to take hold of it (apparently according to Seneca).I have read that theres possibly more than meets the eye with the actual relationship between the Romans and there influence on the Irish,but thats just speculation.But with the Romans taking Britain,Gaul which where very Celtic/Druid way of life did they not just think of going the whole hog and conquering the entire west (as they knew it).Or was it because Britain was so unstable in the North at times that they never got round to it.
