In 55–54 BC, Julius Caesar arrived on the shores of Britain, but thanks to guerrilla resistance and bad weather, his conquest was not successful. Almost 100 years later, in AD 43 the emperor Claudius launched a full-scale invasion, and Britain’s Roman era began. The Romans stayed in Britain for almost four centuries. In some parts of the country they were met with rebellion and resistance, but in more peaceful areas cities were founded, villas constructed and a network of roads developed that can still be traced today. And in AD 122, the emperor Hadrian, visiting Britain, ordered the building of his famous wall. Via: www.english-heritage.org.uk

47. De Uitputting Als je dit als antwoord krijgt op je vraag, dan zit er haast niets anders op dan je even afzijdig te houden. Mensen uit je omgeving hebben misschien slechte bedoelingen. Je voelt je aangevallen, en daar kun je niets tegen inbrengen. Al kun je niets ondernemen en voel je je met je rug tegen de muur gezet, blijf volhouden!

After moving away from his parents, George went to the opposite extreme, and indulged in everything that he laid his eyes on. When George turned 18, he was given Carlto
