The simple facts...

Scroll ahead to the section on "Julius Caesar" (p13) for a highly readable account by T.W.Potter of the invasions. These are "Look Inside" webpages from the Short Oxford History of the Britsh Isles (OUP, 2002).

A detailed analysis of Julius Caesar's landings in Britain. Primarily for older students but the picture of the beach where J.C. perhaps landed is of interest to all.

JC's account of his second invasion in 54 BC from his book Gallic Wars.

An amazing example of ancient sculpture! Made sometime in the 1st-century BC or AD, and thought to have come from Rome, this bust is made of Egyptian green slate (except the marble eyes which are modern) and conveys the majesty and authority of Caesar. Note how he's shown not in military uniform but in the tunic and toga of the Roman statesman.

In the Altes Museum in Berlin.

A good introduction from TimeTeam: from Julius Caesar's expedition in 55 BC through to Claudius' invasion in AD 43.

Excellent account of the invasion using many extracts from the Roman historians, thus more suitable for older surfers.

On p20 of the linked pdf Professor Mark Hassall discusses the reasons for the Roman invasions of Britain by Caesar and Claudius, the settlement of the province of Britannia under Claudius' first governor, Aulus Plautius, where the legions were based, the question of the frontier and the creation of the three client kingdoms.

Picture, plan and description of the fort at Richborough (Roman Rutupiae) in Kent - in all probability the Romans' landing-spot during Claudius' invasion.

Wiki page discussing the possible landing sites for the Claudian invasion of Britain in AD 43. While there are good accounts of the other two Roman invasions, controversy still surrounds Claudius' reasons for invading Britain and his military plans.

Illustrated article about the spectacular finds of gold torcs (as illustrated on p.22 of Bk.II) and coins found in a Norfolk field ("the Snettisham Treasure"), which may have been the Iceni royal treasury.

British Museum photos of the objects found in the Snettisham Treasure. Scroll through and look for the Snettisham Great Torc. Note: most of the hoard, which is the largest deposit of gold and silver from Iron Age Europe, was more than a century before Boudica's time, so could not have belonged to her.
