mallard,

I found a map of Roman Britain which gave me the answer.

Try http:// target='_blank' href="http://www.ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_maprombrit.htm">.ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_maprombrit.htm

Don't know what happened there, try from the second http

I know the answer to this but how do I tie in the second part of the Roman name with a Pacific island?

just the usual thing that happens if you don't put a space after the url when posting. The address bar shows a <p> at the end...remove this and the page will display fine.
Just one of AB's little anomolies.

So is "Albion" the British Isles or England? I had this in a pub quiz the other night and answered the British Isles but the answer was given as England. Shaggy's site gives two Great Britains (Albion & Britannia), a Scotland (Caledonia), an Ireland (Hibernia), but no England or Wales??

rollergirl, it's the capital of Samoa.

[mallard]
