The first two answers are incorrect, for indeed the Greeks reached the British Isles long before the Romans. Pytheas of Marseilles made the voyage in 325BC, reaching what he called 'The Tin Islands' He estimated the circumference of the British Isles to within 2.5% of the modern estimate. He relates how the natives traded in tin, bringing it to the coast to meet foreign traders. There is further evidence in that the British chieftains became aware of coinage, because of their trade with Greeks, and began minting their own.
