Rome found Great Britain and Ireland? When born the history?

Answer 1

I'm not sure where this statement came from but it could not be further from the truth. To begin with, the Romans never invaded Ireland. They in fact never got all the way into Great Britain but built a wall at the end of their empire and remnants of that wall, Hadrian's Wall, still exist today marking, roughly the dividing line between England and Scotland. The Romans felt it just wasn't worth the hassle of fighting the Pics just to gain a little extra ground of questionable value in Scotland.

In addition, the civilization in Ireland is one of the oldest in the world. There has been at least one theory that suggests the tomb at Newgrange is the oldest in-tact structure on the face of the earth, well over a thousand years older than the pyramids in Egypt. I'm wondering, how, if they built this structure approximately 5,000 years ago, one could suggest the Romans 'found' Ireland when the Romans only existed 2,000 years ago.

Answer 2

Rome knew all about Britain,it had sent an army to help the Gauls when they were fighting Julies Cesar. before they invaded Britain again in around 50ad ,they traded alot with this country so there was a good chance they where trading in Ireland to,i think there are some people in Ireland looking for evidence of roman occupation(forts ,houses), i think ,not sure on this but i believe the Romans were the first to do written history of Britain,more to do with tax records than anything else ,i also believe the Romans were also trading in the east with India and china to,so if they can go that far why not Ireland ,much of conquering territory was to please the people of Rome more than anything ,but they traded with everybody around the empire.

Answer 3

Rome didn't find either Great Britain or Ireland. Bothe were already there and not lost. Both places had flourishing civilizations when Rome invaded them. The presence of roman roads and fortresses are leftovers from these invasions.

Answer 4

The British Isles were inhabited for 1000s of yrs. before being conquered by the Romans. I don't understand what you mean by "when born the history"? The history on the British Isles is still being discovered and studied. So far I think artifacts dating back over 10,000 have been found.

Answer 5

Nope...
Great Britian & Ireland were not lost and were there
long before Rome came & conquered them..
Rome came over at about 80 BC...

Answer 6

No, Britain is largely a shorthand call used for the full uk. The nationality of all uk voters is "British" - it is each physique from England, Scotland, Wales and northerly eire. once you're Scottish you will possibly see that for the period of your passport. you will possibly desire to have observed people communicate related to the best minister of england, the British military etc? they are speaking related to the full uk, no longer basically England and Wales. the united kingdom is a sovereign u . s . with a single government, exterior border, remote places money, militia, club of the european and UN etc, purely like all different u . s .. England, Scotland, Wales and northerly eire are factor areas of the united kingdom, purely like states interior the U. S. or Lander in Germany.
