Although I don't dislike the Romans as such, I've always been very relieved that they never made it as far my Irish homeland for it allowed the country to hold onto it's cultural and spiritual traditons. Now I'm living seven miles from a section of Hadrian's Wall. Despite always being awestruck by it's structure as I drive alongside it, I always think that although Hadrian's Wall symbolises order and civilisation this is the part of England where the locals ran riot right up to a couple of hundred years ago. (Think of the Scots - English hoohaa...) So - "thumbs nose" at the Romans......
