THE ROMAN ATTACK

In 59 BC Gaius Julius Caesar achieved the position of Consul. He was appointed Governor of Gaul in 58 BC, and the whole of modern France and Belgium became part of the Roman Empire, ensuring Rome’s safety from Gallic invasions. While there Caesar won great devotion from his troops. He stayed in Gaul for eight years and during this time led two expeditions to Britain, in 55 and 54 BC. Accounts of the invasion are recorded by Caesar himself in his Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, and also briefly in Agricola , a biography of a Governor of Britain by the contemporary historian Tacitus.
