4 – The Island at the Edge of the World – Part 2

Caesar’s Britannia invasion was a disaster with a victory party! Storms raged, chariots thundered, and near-annihilation loomed as Caesar battled Britons, only to escape with hostages and a twenty-day Roman rave. Though he achieved barely nothing, his PR machine spun the chaos into epic success, proving that even botched invasions could be a hit in the Eternal City. Buckle up for the wild ride, because round two in 54 BC promises even more mayhem!


3 – The Island at the Edge of the World – Part 1

Forget conquering Gaul! Julius Caesar, fueled by ambition and fear of the mythical Oceanus, sets sail across uncharted waters to tame the wild warriors of Britain. His landing turns chaotic as chariots clash with Roman swords on blood-soaked beaches. But fear gives way to discipline, and the empire’s ironclad legions crush the blue-painted defenders. Peace treaties crumble like painted shields, while Caesar, king of a single epic battle, dreams of Britannia kneeling before his might. Will this taste of victory quench his thirst for conquest, or is this just the first spark in a fire that will consume the isle? Tune in and prepare to be captivated by the clash of civilizations in the dawn of British history!


2 – Invasion of Giant Deer, Cannibals, and Celts!

Picture mammoths munching on tundra as Britannia cuddles with Europe, then picture it cast adrift by rising seas. From giant deer to flint-wielding humans, prehistory brims with tales of survival and innovation. Meet Cheddar Man, his skull scraped clean – was it cannibalism or ritual? Imagine Stonehenge rising, silent guardian of secrets, while Britons build hill forts and bronze shines bright. Then, iron creeps in, Celts paint the land with their language, and a Greek maps it with a walking stick. Trade explodes, coins fly, and walled towns sprout against barbarian threats. Farmers till the land, weak ale sloshes in cups, and mead fuels feasts where Druids, whispers of human sacrifice clinging to their robes, preside. But in the Lindow Man’s bloodstained bog, mystery lingers. Soon, Rome’s shadow stretches across the channel, promising a clash for the ages. Britannia’s prehistoric saga is just getting started!
