[00:00.660] Will probably not. Sooner or later they would have noticed that the top of the head is sliced off, scooped out.
[00:07.567] Like a boiled egg of breakfast, to hold sacrificial offerings.
[00:12.034] And then they would have remembered stories of Rome told about the grisly brutality of the Druids.
[00:19.148] Perhaps they would have even taken note of the stories told by the northern savages themselves.
[00:25.164] Of decapitated heads who were said to speak mournfully to those who had parted them from the rest of their body
[00:32.904] Warning of vengeance to come.
[00:35.748] And then they would have thought, "Well, perhaps not."
[00:39.317] "Perhaps we don't want to have much to do with an island of talking heads." "
[00:53.521] So why did the Romans come here
[00:55.700] to the edge of the world, and run the gauntlet of all these ominous totems?
[01:02.354] Well, it was the lure of treasure, of course, all those pearls that Tacitus was convinced lay around Britain in heaps.
[01:09.338] But even more seductive was what Roman generals craved the most
[01:14.038] the prestige given to those who pacified the barbarian frontier.
[01:20.504] And so, in the written annals of Western history
[01:23.437] the islands now had not only a name, Britannia, but a date.
[01:28.858] In 55 BC Julius Caesar launched his galleys across the Channel.
[01:39.499] Julius Caesar must have supposed that all he had to do was land his legions in force and the Britons.
[01:47.473] Just cowed by the spectacle all of the glittering helmets and eagle standards.
[01:51.903] Would simply queue up to surrender.
[01:55.007] They would understand that history always fought on the side of Rome. Trouble was, geography didn't.
