Julius Caesar did not conquer Britain; it did not become a Roman province at that time. That happened over a hundred years later under the rule of Emperor Claudius. There were, however, two invasions led by Caesar in 55 and 54 BCE respectively, and Caesar did write about Britain as part of his accounts of the Gallic Wars [the first page of a manuscript of the work is posted]. Our group focuses on the language rather than the history, but below is a link which will give more information on the invasions.
