three hundred years after Caesar first invaded the untamed island in 55 BC
This statement is somewhat inaccurate. Julius Caesar conducted reconnaissance and fact-finding missions in Britannia. He never committed his troops to actual fighting there. The real invasion of Britannia began in 43 AD when Claudius was emperor. The British tribes put up a good fight, too. It took about 40 years for the Romans to finally get the island under control.
