I have a question regarding roman britain:
1) why did the romans never control the north of britain? if you see it on the map they only had to take a little piece. did they know this?
2) did the romans know about ireland? were there any "expeditions" to this island that we know of?
In anwser to question 2 yes rome knew about Ireland and there is a small coast fort in north Co.Dublin and there is a room full to the raffters with roman military gear Armor, helments, ect,
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."
Go Bua
