In this episode of the History Extra podcast, Ferdinand Addis guides us through the complex process of the Roman invasion of Britain and the resulting occupation. Speaking to Charlotte Vosper, Ferdinand reveals what it was like to fight the Romans on the battlefield, why Hadrian's Wall was built, and what happened when the Romans left Britain. Your book tells a story of the Roman conquest of Britain, which was begun by Julius Caesar in 55 BC.

But why did he want to invade Britain? I think what's really fun about Julius Caesar is that he tells you why. He wrote a whole history, well, a r more like live reporting of his campaigns. So if you want to know why he invaded Britain, you can in a sense ask him. And he'll give you this very boring reply.
