Why did Julius Caesar come to Britain?
Description
A Romano-British man and a Celt discuss Julius Caesar and the Roman army鈥檚 first attempt to invade Britain. They give different information and details about what happened. An animated map shows how the invasion took place and why Britain was an important focus for the Romans.
Classroom Ideas
Students could use the events described as a reference point to create a role-play. Students could work in small groups, half as the Celts who are preparing for the invasion and the rest playing the part of the Romans.
