Ancient Britain and the Invasions of Julius Caesar
Published in 1907 as a companion to his Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, T. Rice Holmes's Ancient Britain and the Invasions of Julius Caesar is in two parts. The first is a history of Britain before the Romans, beginning with the Palaeolithic hunters and the Ice Age, moving through the Neolithic and Bronze Age peoples to the Celtic tribes Caesar met, and ending with a close narrative of the expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. The second part is a long series of critical essays on disputed questions: where Caesar landed, where he crossed the Thames, how the Britons fought from chariots, whether London yet existed. Holmes weighs every source and every rival scholar with a patience that remains useful. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
