I understand that, but there is no trace of it in the battle archives (or whatever they're called ) for 1st century AD.

To build on what Fatboy said: While it was centuries before Rome was great, one could not be amiss to look at Herodotus' works, and how anyone not Greek was a 'barbarian' in his eyes. This represents something that suggests racial discrimination was more a matter of pride than hatred, because Herodotus even refers to the Persians as barbarians - they were in fact a very diverse culture with a number of impossible-to-ignore technological advances, not to mention the fact that they had thousands of men of Greek blood in their ranks.

Last time I checked I could find hardly anything about it in your archives except for the brief mention in the Claudius section, and yet it was a very important battle for the Romans, killing an important chieftain and securing their control over southeast Britain (though of course Maiden Castle was yet to come). The following webpage is the most informative I could think of, though I suggest if you want some more research run a search on Aulus Plautius who was the victor that day: Battle of Medway Lawrence
