On this day in 100BC Julius Ceaser was born. He would go on to conquer modern day France and Belgium and be the first to set foot on England

‘The first to set foot on England’
​
apart from those already living there.
Pretty sure other people had set foot in England before then.
First bare foot maybe?
I think they mean the first Roman leader to set foot on Britain.
Aldo killed a quarter of Gaul population, enslaved another quarter.
Greek geographer Pytheas of Massalia was the first recorded non-native to “discover” Britain in 325 BC but trade with Greeks had been going on for over a thousand years. Cornwall is littered with Mycenaean artifacts dating back to the 1600 BC.
Ceaser? Really?
> first to set foot
*angry celtic noises*
Everybody cut it out with this foot thing! Jesus fucking christ!
