Text: The Coming of the Romans In the year 55 BC the Great Roman general Julius Caesar sailed to Britain with about 12,000 soldiers in eighty ships. When they were near the coast, they saw the Britons armed with swords, ready to fight them. The Romans won the battle, but didn't stay long and soon departed. In the following year Julius Caesar came to Britain again and stayed here some time. Then the Romans left again and did not appear on the British shores for about a hundred years. Then, in the year 43 AD, the Roman Emperor Claudius sent a general with 40,000 men to conquer Britain all over again. Soon the whole of the south of Britain was conquered.The Romans were very practical people, and the first thing they did in Britain was to make the ports where they landed their soldiers. The Roman ports were very well built. The great Roman roads ran in long straight lines to different parts of the country. But the Romans came with a heavy hand, And bridged and roaded and ruled the land,… wrote R. Kipling Task 3.
