nothing there they wanted, I don't think. They probably went beyond present-day England to have a look around Scotland and Ireland (remembering none of these countries existed then) but they just built a wall to keep the Scots out. They thought the Irish were savages. though their land was so lush that cattle exploded from eating too much.

They did occupy Wales, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Wales

THE ROMANS DID INVADE SCOTLAND .
ONLY THE UNEDUCATED DO NOT REALISE THAT.


What is less well known is that the Romans did invade Scotland and built another wall (The Antonine Wall) in 142AD roughly between Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was not as solid as Hadrians Wall, and most of it has disappeared but there are some bits you can still see.

It was called the Antonine Wall because Emperor Antoninus Pius was in charge at the time.

The Romans only stayed for about 30 years, after that they went back to Hadrians Wall further south.



sO THE PEOPLE TELLING YOU THAT THEY DIDNT EITHER DONT KNOW , OR ARE TESTING YOU .


hope this helped.?�?�?

Hi marie it's because they did not like sheep tatties or kilts and that is all the afore mentioned countries had to offer so they did not bother.

[sod_the_m25]

Is that independently attested to? It could just all be made up.

[legend.isgod]

Ive seen the remains of the abntonine wall outside of glasgow on a school field trip.
But i dont expect a pompous , illiterate , braindead example of a defunct amoeba , to understand that .

Living in a social bubble isnt helpful you know ?


Welcome to the real world .

DID THAT HELP �?�?

Not too sure if i've got my facts right, but the Romans ivaded what is now called Scotland in around 80ad, the Scotti Tribe fom Ireland, whom Scotland is named after, didn't arrive until around 500ad.

The people who defeated the Romans and pushed them back, were Picts, not Scots.

[dundurn]

Legend and Lonnie are both right.

The Romans did invade Wales, eventually trying to exterminate the Druids in their stronghold of Anglesey. The two main military camps at Chester and Caerleon were positioned precisely to prevent Welsh incursions into England and to permit the legions rapid deployment into Wales.

Scotland (occupied at the time by the Picts, who would have spoken a language like Welsh) was invaded and occupied over a number of years. Agricola penetrated well up into North-east Scotland. His final victory at Mons Graupius gave its name to the Grampian Mountains. There are remains of Roman marching camps all over Scotland. Every time I go home to Comrie in Perthshire and I turn left just past Braco to head across the Langside Moor I am conscious that just to my right are the remains of two Roman camps.

The Romans constructed the Antonine Wall across Scotland at its narrowest part. They used it (in the same way they used Hadrian's Wall) as a defensive position which could also be a jumping off point for campaigns such as Agricola's. Within the last few years redevelopment of the Forth and Clyde Canal in Falkirk was initially held up and finally made much more complicated to ensure that the works did not damage remains of the Antonine Wall.

i am surprised at whiffy going to a public school not knowing about the romans going into scotland and getting a good hiding
