Caesar Landing in Britain. Julius Caesar carried Roman arms into wild regions where they had never penetrated before. The first historical notice we have of Britain is that in which Caesar himself tells of his invasion there in 55 The savage tribes rushed down to the shore to meet his soldiers, and charged even out into the water with spears and clubs, or coming barehanded, seized rocks and hurled them at the invaders. The desperate though unorganized resistance which he everywhere met prevented Caesar from making any lasting conquest of the brave islanders.
