At the edge of the world?
Message from juliak posted on 26-02-2010 at 19:39:52
Hello,
"As far as the Roman historians were concerned, Britannia may be off at the edge of the world, but it was off the edge of their world, not in a barbarian wilderness."
Can you say the same phrase sentence but in simple words? Please explain what does it mean "may be off at the edge of the world" means.

Hi,
I think it means that for the Romans, Britannia was the limit of the world that they knew. Britannia was the last place they knew before the immense sea that they thought was empty.
I hope this helps a little.
Best Wishes
