Investigating the truth about Julius Caesar and the incursions he made into Britain.

Nick Knowles investigates the truth about Julius Caesar and the two incursions he made into Britain before 54BC, discovering why and how he came to be there - and why he didn't stay.

Nick Knowles investigates the truth about Julius Caesar and the incursions he made into Britain before 54BC. The Romans conquered Britain and changed our way of life for ever. Everybody knows that, but what is not so well known is that before they came, saw and conquered, they'd invaded not once but twice. None other than the legendary Julius Caesar led two huge armies to try to quell the fierce Celts, led by the Druids. Nick Knowles accompanies Caesar on his two incursions, discovering why and how he came to be there - and, just as intriguingly, why he didn't stay.
