HIBERNIA

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 447 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HIBERNIA , in ancient geography, one of the names by which Ireland was known to
Greek
  and Roman writers. Other names were lerne, Iuverna, Iberio. All these are adaptations of a
stem
  from which also Erin is descended. The
island
  was well known to the Romans through the reports of traders, so far at least as its coasts. But it never became
part
  of the Roman
empire
 . Agricola (about A.D. 8o) planned its conquest, which he judged an easy task, but the Roman government vetoed the enterprise. During the Roman occupation of Britain, Irish pirates seem to have been an intermittent
nuisance
 , and Irish emigrants may have settled occasionally in Wales; the best attested emigration is that of the Scots into Caledonia. It was only in post-Roman days that Roman civilization, brought perhaps by
Christian
  missionaries like
Patrick
 , entered the
island
 .
