<P> No information about harbours or other landing - places was available to the Romans before Caesar 's expeditions , so Caesar was able to make discoveries of benefit to Roman military and trading interests . Volusenus 's reconnaissance voyage before the first expedition apparently identified the natural harbour at Dubris ( Dover ) , although Caesar was prevented from landing there and forced to land on an open beach , as he did again the following year , perhaps because Dover was too small for his much larger forces . The great natural harbours further up the coast at Rutupiae ( Richborough ) , which were used by Claudius for his invasion 100 years later , were not used on either occasion . Caesar may have been unaware of them , may have chosen not to use them , or they may not have existed in a form suitable for sheltering and landing such a large force at that time . Present knowledge of the period geomorphology of the Wantsum Channel that created that haven is limited . </P>
