The Belgae are as British as the Romans since they were both invading the territory, the evidence sugest Belgae culture found in Britain was probably for the most part trough trading and culturally influences of Belgic nobles that were placed to rule over the settlements in conquered territory. Even though the Belgae in Gaul are closely related to Celts and connected trough the land they are different group of tribes with their own culture specific to the aeria mixed with adopted elements from neighboring celts that invaded from the south and germani from the north
This is cool, thank you, I used mytrueancestry and it says my closest ancient people are the Belgae. My parents got the same. I am French-Canadian of Norman heritage from Rouen Normandy, my haplogroup is DF49 which puts me in Ireland paternally. When I use GED MATCH and mytrueancestry it says I am 97% Celtic which breaks it down as danish gaelic icelandic. It's interesting. I do have our family tree recorded up until 1400s thanks to the Jesuits record keeping in Canada, New France. It makes us 100% Norman heritage with some Parisian women that were sent by the King of France. So I do have some Germanic from that, but my autosomal is 97% Celtic. I learned that in 911 Norse Gaels came into Normandy including Danes. I have a hunch this could explain my autosomal but doesn't tell me the paternal route he took. My haplogroup may have been there already and it could very well be a Belgae haplogroup.
I came here because I saw a map placing Belgae tribes in Britain and then I found your video. It would make sense that romanized Belgi were enlisted to fight in Britain because Caesar once wrote "the Belgi are the bravest of all Gauls". Apparently his armies met some fierce resistance on the continent.
From maps i have seen, the territory of the Belgae, more closely covers the area of Wiltshire rather than Hampshire; hence why Bath would be within their orbit. Likewise, winchester is on the boarder of wiltshire (it would also coincide with other comments made, namely Belgae coins found on the south coast. Anyway, thats what the maps and charts i have seen online depict.

That's well made, thank you, long live Belgium.

Once you take Doggerland into consideration things make even more sense.
Great work.
