Of course the Britons were more aware of Rome than the Romans were of them. The Greeks were aware of the Persian Empire before the Persians were aware of them (after the Athenians joined in the Ionian attack on the city of Sardis, Darius supposedly had to ask “who are the Athenians?”). Probably 100% of the people of the island nation of Dominica are aware of the U.S., while probably only a minority of Americans are aware there is such a nation as Dominica (a former British colony in the Lesser Antilles).

Why that’s not true at all. I know all about Dominica. It is an island inhabited by monks of the Dominican order and no women are permitted on the island. You have to get there by going up cliffs using a basket pulled by ropes.

So there!
