Rome\'s Longest War?

[Theoderic]

I would agree that Britain stood the test of time and was never fully and completely pacified from Caesar's early incursions (not really invasions - 55 and 54 BC) until all the remaining legions finally left in AD 410 leaving a garrison force that gradually metamorphised into the war bands that followed......

For such a small country to have between 3 and 4 legions based here for so long with extra auxilliaries garrisoning the frontier shows the lack of peaceful acceptance by either the local inhabitants or indeed the invasion forces of others.
