All Things Roman (History)

[Mick Harper]

You know what we think about anything with a Cotton hallmark. The blurb's reference to Alfred's resettlement of London is hilarious. What was it, injun territory?

I watched an internet video today, courtesy of my silicon servant who has worked me out so she serves me up a medley of Roman stuff. Today's offering: "why the Romans did not invade Ireland"

It was entirely orthodox, ie they, the Romans, could have done, it would have been useful, they even had a mysterious Irish King willing to assist etc etc etc but, err, never got round to it as were distracted fighting battles elsewhere.

Still, ends with a real cliffhanger "when at the time of writing, 70% of the Irish identify as Roman catholic, we might say the Romans conquered Ireland not with swords but with ideas".......

Wow! I desperately looked for Part 2 but alas....
