INVASION!

What better place to start with the Romanisation of Kent than on the beach between Walmer and Deal where Caius Julius Caesar landed in 55BC. There is a commemorative stone laid on 'The Strand' (promenade) between Walmer and Deal. The inscription on the plinth simply says,

"The first Roman Invasion of Britain led by
Julius Caesar landed near here LVBC."

DEAL BEACH (steep with pebbles up to ~75mm)

This is the starting place for my pages which partly follow the University of Kent CCS Course on the Romans in Kent. I shall be adding to them as the course unfolds. This site has become a 'personal project' to accompany the course essay and contains 26 pages and over 100 images. The story starts with Caesar and his 'expeditions' to Britain...
