A famous Roman General, Julius Caesar, decided to invade Britain in 55 B.C. because:

  • He was cross with the Britons for helping the Gauls (now called the French) to fight the Romans.
  • He thought it would make him look good back in Rome (no-one had travelled here before, it was like going to the moon for the Romans!).
  • He had heard that there was great treasure in Britain and he wanted it.

He tried twice in 55 B.C. and 54 B.C. and his army did defeat the tribes that were waiting for him but both times his boats were destroyed by storms and he went home.

The Romans did not come back for another 90 years.

Hope that helps your Question :)

Why did the zealots attack the Romans?

The Zealots didn't attack the Romans. The Romans were going to attack but all the Zealots killed themselves. Over 960 children, men and woman died. Now, that's a different story. They believe the Romans attacked, or were going to attack, because the Zealots would, in a way, pull pranks on the Romans. The Romans got tired of living over 1,000 feet below the Zealots because it also gave the Zealots a advantage at numerous things.Hoped this helped!:)
