Looking up at the cliff-tops, the Roman commander, Caius Julius Caesar, saw thousands of British warriors from all the tribes of the South, ready to resist with force the imperialism of Rome. "Caesar's Invasion of Britain" does much more than tell the story of the abortive invasions of 55 and 54 BC. the book surveys the cultural achievements, religious practices, government, economy, and military organization of the British Celts. It shows that the Britons were not crude, woad-painted savages but members of a complex cultured society.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper)***A first impression of the true first edition, published in 1978. A nicely illustrated study on the Roman invasion of Britain. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 8963
