ancient Rome encountered Britain in 55 and 54 BC BCE when Julius Caesar invaded the island. The invasions were more like expeditions and Caesar came upon armed resistance each time. It is thought that he believed Britons were aiding the Gauls.

Britain was not an enemy of the Roman Empire until the emperor Claudius had the island invaded and it was added to the empire by Claudius in 43 AD CE. Rome prospered by controlling the wealth of Britain and like many of Rome's provinces there were revolts from time to time.
