499. The Roman Conquest of Britain: Julius Caesar’s Invasion (Part 1)
Manage episode 442690934 series 2968666
Julius Caesar saw the Britons as brutal savages. Yet the Romans romanticised their lack of civilisation, deeming them as untainted by Mediterranean luxury. In 55 BC, after sending scouts along the Kentish coast, Caesar launched an invasion of the island as part of his Gallic Wars campaign. After a disastrous first attempt marred by storms, the “menacing horde of barbarians” of the English Home Counties asked Caesar for help and he returned with a bigger, stronger army to support their prince. Will this campaign succeed?
Join Tom and Dominic as they explore Caesar’s invasion of Britain and how it entered the orbit of the great imperial power.
