I am not going to go into the same detail written so clearly in other articles under this title, however I would like to make the following couple of small points to add to the biographical details.

1) Julius Caesar came to Britian in 55AD because he was invited. He did not come to conquer the island. He came to discuss trade and other possible alliances. Although the island had a lot of small "kingdoms" they were under the druidical system and had similar cultures. Many of the "kingdoms" were already trading with various placed in the Mediterranean and the middle east.

2) Julius Caesar knew and stated that the Druids were better than the Romans and because of this he feared them. The Druids were, said Caesar, based in Britain. The Druids were known throughout the whole of the Roman Empire BEFORE Britain became a part of it. Caesar often spoke with a Druid called David who lived in Rome for a while.
