Queen Boadicea leading the Britons against the Romans by The English School 1860
"The men of Britain are taller than the Celti, and not so yellow-haired, although their bodies are of looser build. The following is an indication of their size: I myself, in Rome, saw mere lads towering as much as half a foot above the tallest people in the city, although they were bandy-legged and presented no fair lines anywhere else in their figure."
-Strabo, Geography, Book 4 Chapter 5
