Alistair Moffat Quotes
NOT ONLY WAS THE Weather Miserable, With Frequent Rains And Mists, Britain Was Also Not Worth Having. The Phenomenal Expansion Of The Roman Empire Was Driven By What Tacitus Called The Pretium Victoriae, The 'wages Of Victory' Or How Much Wealth Could Be Extracted From The Defeated By The Conquerors. A Sodden Landscape, Half-hidden By Cloud, Producing Nothing More Exciting Than Cattle, Corn And A Few Substandard Pearls, The Place Was Thought Simply Incapable Of Delivering A Decent Return On All That Outlay Of Men, Materials And Money. Roman Commentators Dismissed A Conquest Of Britain As Making No Sort Of Economic Sense.
