I find it hard to believe that there wasn't ONE roman who didn't find himself that far north in over 1000 years of history.
The ancient world did not exist in bubbles....if roman merchants existed in Gaul, I think it would be rather foolish to just assume that no Roman ever set foot in the area just because some historian didn't tell us.
Merchants go where the money is....they have little care for statecraft and warfare unless it affects said money.
Also, to think that no Roman warez made it here (and that the original inhabitant's nobility didn't want to be associated with the most powerful state in the world) is just not feasible IMO.
