Celts: Friend or FoeThe Romans at times tended to force their beliefs and culture upon its conquered citizens.
They built a road straight through the sacred lands of the Celts just outside of Aqua Sulis
When Rome invaded Britain there were two types of British rulers: those who resisted Roman rule, like Queen Boudica; and those who chose to cooperate, like Cogidubnus.
DruidsThe Druids put up the most resistance of all the British tribes or leaders. They were considered to be the leaders of the Celtics, but not many rulers heeded their advice to resist or be conquered.
DruidsThe Druids perhaps envisioned their way of life being overtaken by the Romans. Though Rome allowed freedom of religion, they did not like Druidism because of the rumored human sacrifices. So, Rome did everything it could to halt Druidic practices. The Druids fought back as best as they could, but eventually the Roman legions win.
