Dec 5, 2015 at 23:21	comment	added	Wad Cheber		I've read that the Romans visited Ireland, but were dissuaded from hanging around when hordes of naked men covered in mud ran down to attack their landing parties, slicing themselves open and drenching themselves in blood along the way. The historians (mostly Irish) who write about this suggest that the Romans decided the land didn't appear to be worth dealing with that kind of mentality among the natives. There's probably some truth to it - Celtic/Gaelic warriors may well have behaved this way - but I imagine the Romans' decisions had less to do with that than the lack of potential profit.
