Accounts of Roman Britain usually start with Caesar invading Kent in 55 and 54BCE. But by this time Caesar had been spending several years in Gaul engaging (usually militarily) with Gallic tribes living along the Atlantic and North Sea and to whom the sea was part of their way of life.
\nThis course will look at Caesar and the Iron Age cultures he encountered and how it changed the way Rome saw the Ocean and how it did business with the people along its coast.<\/p>\n
