"Caligula, the Roman Emperor, pretended to conquer Britain by ordering his soldiers to gather seashells on the shore, declaring them the spoils of war. But while Caligula’s 'conquest' was a farce, the real struggle came later when Caratacus, a brave British chief, refused to bow to Roman rule. Leading his people in fierce resistance, Caratacus fought valiantly to keep his land free, becoming a symbol of British courage and defiance against the mighty Roman Empire."
