"The romans always liked to frame their wars as defensive."
Good to know that tradition wasn't lost.

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

*Rome punches someone in the face*

"Did you see that!? That brute injured my hand! Time for war!"

[sgtrpcommand]

As a Brit, I love that one of the biggest challenges for the invading Romans was to deal with our bloody weather

[jackpearson]

"Wait a minute... Caesar crossed a line here." That's just what Caesar does.

[jacobgendron]

This entire series can be summed up in one phrase: “The Roman infantry held their ground.”

[Bill_Gamesh]

"the weather was still pretty awful"
You know Caesar landed in the right country just for this fact

[southpaw]

Regarding the bridge, as an engineer, it was on of the most brilliant examples of Roman engineering . The Roman engineers' use of floating pile drivers more than 2000 years ago, showed he had some of the most clever and creative people of the ancient world at his disposal. The ability to manage a project of that magnitude, spanning nearly a mile of fast moving river in 10 days is nothing short of amazing.

"The weather was still pretty aweful"


Welcome to Britain.

> leaving to conquer the rumored netherworld across the sea with minor maritime experience while leaving 300k germans in the rear
The balls on that guy

[GodUd]

I heard that Britons had weapons of mass destruction. So his invasion is pretty legit to me.

[gilbertplays]

Day 1: My invasion of Britain begins
Month 1: My victory of the German lands is complete "Wait, What!?"

[ianport]

Britain is entirely fictional. I know, I live here.

[gorgonsigil]

“See, romans had this funny attitude toward war. They always liked to frame their wars as defensive, even when they weren’t.”


*Laughs in US Department of Defense*

[artsyaidan]

Say what you will about Caesar, but at least he died surrounded by friends.

[hfrmartin]

"LOL"- various Roman Senators, circa. 55 BCE

[Synystr]

"Yay!" - Roman soldier (55 BCE)

[pedrodeeg]

Caesars invasion of Britain was very much like Napoleons invasion of Egypt. Started well, finished poorly, great for propoganda back at home

[victorgabrielbuena]

I never knew how watching rectangles move around and retreating so satisfying

[Hiraghm]

The people in Britain undoubtedly were sending supplies to his enemies in Gaul...
There's a word for this.... it's called...
"trade".

[Kriegter]

How Hitler fail to invade Britain
Hitler: let's see how the Romans conquered Britain
*Reads handbook*
Step 1: invade Germany
Hitler: what? Screw this I'm asking a random boy in Berlin
