Did the Romans travel to Cornland in England?

Question

That's where my ancestry is. So, do you think it's possible if I have some Roman?

Answer 1

Yes, they did.

Answer 2

If you mean CORNWALL, yes, the Romans were there as they were in much of England (or Brittania, as they called it). In Cornwall, they were interested in the mining of tin, and so far 3 forts have been found that were built by the Romans--all built near mines. England and Wales were  under Roman control at the height of their Empire up until they left in 410 AD., having been there for 453 years (43 BC to 410 AD).

So, I would say that anybody who can trace their family back to these ancient times could possibly have a drop or two of Roman blood in them, but probably just enough now after all these generations that if they had a nosebleed, they would be out of the clan, so to speak.  LOL

Answer 3

where the heck is Cornland? do you mean Cornwall?

Answer 4

The Roman legions did. They went as far north as the Scottish border, took one look at shaggy barefoot men in skirts playing gawd-awful music and swinging swords as long as a man was tall, said "No thanks", built Hadrian's wall to keep the wild things out, and settled down to procreation. They were horny as billy goats. Most soldiers far from home are.

Most of the legions were not Romans by home town, though. They were mercenaries from the frontier provinces, used to barbarians and hard living.  There are barbarians and barbarians, and "hard" can get harder awfully quick when some clan leader hollers "You men knock them down, you boys slit their throats" in Gaelic and a hairy mob rises out of the mist in the gorse.
