CORRECTION - CORRECTION - There were NO ENGLISH in ENGLAND at that time (67AD). The Britons were still in their own homeland rather than in Brittony and Spain.
The English were just then learning how to pick lice out of their hair back in Denmark, Saxony and other as of then un-named or un-known barbarian heartlands!

Also, very important regarding the relationships between the Legionaires and the locals, if they were Ossitians, they spoke a Celtic language which was not very different from several of the Celtic languages still spoken in Alba in that day (the Scots not yet having arrived from Scota - the island just to the West).

Why would the Romans trade wine and olive oil for beer and lard? It must not have been their best. On the other hand, maybe they were trading for Scotch whiskey! I'd sure trade mediocre wine and olive oil for Lagavulin or something like that!
