Tacticus Quote c. 100AD

Answer 21

Agricola tried to get Britons to live in peace and quiet instead of fighting. He gave the sons of chiefs an education.
The result was that instead of hating the Roman language (Latin), the Britons were eager to speak it properly. Britons who learnt Latin learned Roman ideas.Unlike the Britons language, 5e Roman laws were written down and obeyed throughout the Empire.
