I suppose, too, that the Romans didn't make it to the Netherlands is part of the reasoning. The Netherlands is part of what Ancient Rome labelled Germania. Then again, they did get into Belgium (I've read "Asterix in Belgium" so I know that's correct). I suspect, too, that the coverage of Roman history in my days at school was more along the lines of one empire (Britain) acknowledging a predecessor (Rome). Brett
