Caesar's Invasion of Gaul

The Romans never did get a handle on the tricky tides of the North Atlantic, but they were able to land without as much difficulty and establish a proper base. Caesar pressed inland and met with fiercer resistance, but primarily in the form of guerrilla attacks rather than open battle. Only two British tribes actually sent their promised hostages. It would be another hundred years before Rome returned to fully incorporate Britannia as a province. The expedition had resulted in little material gain, but in terms of publicity, the invasion was a huge success for Caesar personally.
