You're missing the point.

This article is about BRITONS, i.e. the inhabitants of the British Isles. It's not using Romans as representatives of what PEOPLE did back then, it's using Romans as representatives of what BRITONS did back then.

Historically the Romans had a huge cultural impact on Britain... whereas ancient Jews had none. So why then should this article randomly mention ancient Jewish traditions?

You're complaining about a complete non-issue.
