Just a bit of pedantry.

Julius Caesar visited Britain in 55BC but the Romans did not actually invade until decades later.

England could not be said to exist until several hundred years later. Not only that but what is now Wales and Southern Scotland were also under Roman occupation. The use of Britain to refer to the island would be more appropriate.
