BRITAIN AND ROME: Caesar to Claudius: The Exposure of a Renaissance Fraud
by O'Gorman, P.J.
1-231150
Reassessment of the period from Julius Caesar's first forays into Britain to the invasion under the Emperor Claudius. Asserts that Caesar's initial cross-Channel adventures were motivated not so much by seeking the glory of taming primitive savages but to gain control of an economic powerhouse. Also argues that two of the most important Roman sources underpinning the conventional narrative are in fact Renaissance fakes and that their acceptance has distorted the interpretation of modern archaeological evidence. Meanwhile he reinstates a discounted British source. The result is a startlingly different version of Britain's early history.
