So nothing much has changed then?Originally posted by Old Greg View PostGammon xenophobia doesn't appear to have changed. I suspect it comes from post-imperialist guilt and a sense of inferiority.

So far everything I've read points at "Did a little trade, did some pottering around, hooked up with a disgruntled exiled Irish Prince. Didn't get round to invading due to pressing matters at home." <-- My paraphrasing.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIf you are interested, you probably want to read 'Roman Ireland'. Not read it myself, but I understand that it makes a case for invasion. There is no definitive proof either way.
The academia.edu link was showing a British Archaeology article.

Is a similar paper available elsewhere?

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostYou obviously don't know much about Roman history or historiography and the associated challenges in ascertaining with certainty historical facts. Take a look at the footnotes to the wiki link I provided and you will see that there is a lack of clarity about the matter. One of the footnote links is broken so I have provided a link here:
Yes, the Romans did invade Ireland | Richard B Warner - Academia.edu
It is the kind of topic that academics will debate, but it is unlikely to be resolved one way or another.

Originally posted by Zigenare View PostTo you, obviously. Try a little more reading with regards to your new homeland.
The phrase "As Rome’s Continental conflicts escalated, the invasion of Ireland was suspended indefinitely." might help.
Yes, the Romans did invade Ireland | Richard B Warner - Academia.edu
It is the kind of topic that academics will debate, but it is unlikely to be resolved one way or another.
