Very good arguments, you guys. I think we can put this one to rest, but I'll just hijack my own thread with a new question then: what if Caesar conquered the British Isles with a permanent garrison instead of a temporary invasion force? Later British would hail him as the first Brit, a true son of Britain with a Manchester United t-shirt stained from the fish and chips he ate drunkenly at 4:00 in the morning. Because Britain can turn even the biggest teetotaler into a despondent, raging alcoholic.
