"Julius Caesar made two attempts to invade Britain, first in 55 B.C. and then again in 54 B.C. Both times the British warriors and the rotten British weather made his army give up and return to Gallia." http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/romans/invasion.shtml Jan 01 07, 11:13 AM

i looked around and found that 55 B.C, is the year in which the Romans first invaded Britain under Julius Caesar but it was not until almost a century later in 43 A.D, during the reign of the Emperor Claudius that the full scale Roman conquest and occupation of Britain really began.
