Quote:Why would Late Romans not travel to Ireland? As there was no perpetual war or some trade boycott, I don't see why they wouldn't. Actually there seems to have been quite some contact between the British isles and Ireland, because the sea was a connecting factor rather than a barrier.
We find a certain segment of "historians" keen on wandering Romans reaching China. By simple mileage, Ireland was a lot closer. But, we must remember Ireland really didn't have much in the way of resources to offer the Romans... not even snakes. :dizzy:
