Marble relief depicting Julius Caesar invading Britain by John Deare (1759-1798) a British neo-classical sculptor. Dated 18th Century This relief by British sculptor John Deare (1759-1798) depicts Julius Caesar invading Britain circa 55 BC. Dr. Elliott argues that imperial efforts centuries later to recapture Britain from Carausius and his usurper Allectus kept Rome invested in Britain during an era when the Romans were becoming weary of troubles in the region.
