Dates in Early English History.

Anno quinquagesimo quinto ante Christum natum Caesar primum in Britanniam věnit, neque tamen diu in insula nostra manet. Deinde proximo anno iterum cum copiis věnit. Post paucos autem menses copias reducit. Anno quadragesimo tertio post Christum natum Claudius, imperator Romanus, in Britanniam venit, et totam paullatim insulam in suam potestatem Romani redigunt.

Annos circiter trecentos quinquaginta Romani insulam tenent. Vias sternunt, castra muniunt, domos villasque aedificant, frumentum serunt, muro ingenti feras Caledoniae gentes ab incursionibus prohibent; pacem Britannis dant. Anno autem circiter quadringentesimo decimo Romani legiones suas reducunt. Anno quadringentesimo quadragesimo nono Angli, majores nostri, primum navibus insulam capiunt.
