Why did the Romans NEVER conquer Poland? The truth is completely different than you think!
The Roman Empire conquered Gaul, Spain, Greece, and Britain, yet never established a province on the Vistula River. Why did the most powerful army of antiquity stop at the Rhine and Danube and never permanently enter what is now Poland? Were the Romans unaware of our lands, or did they simply decide that conquest wasn't worthwhile?
This is a story about trade that was smarter than conquest, about toga-clad accountants who counted every denarius, and about a blank spot on the map that allowed our lands to go their own way.
If you're interested in Polish history, ancient Rome, the Roman Empire, Barbaricum, the Amber Road, Polish archaeology, and historical curiosities they don't teach in school, this video is for you.
