I found this information on a talk page for a different article and perhaps it's appropriate here?: "Argentino, my personal point of view is that you can maintain eastern Ireland in light blue in your map. The reason is that Agricola considered the invasion of Ireland after some of his Legionaries went to Ireland and contacted the local tribes for information about a possible conquest. We don't know if these Legionaries did some military action or received some form of friendly "subjugation" from the Irish tribes in eastern Ireland. We only know that Agricola judged that could conquer all the island with a single legion (according to Tacitus): from what he made this judgment? Only from the reports from these legionaries, obviously. Tacitus wrote that Ivernia (the roman name of Ireland) "was hardly in contact with Romans" and this fact does NOT exclude some contact and even some form of accomodating tribute-payment to avert possible conquerors. Anyway, if you want some precise information about the campaign of Gallus in Arabia and about the Garamantes in Libia, I suggest you to read the book of Theodor Mommsen "The Provinces of the Roman Empire".
