The Romans came to Britain nearly 2000 years ago and changed the country in a profund and moving way. In this site you can find information and learn about Roman history in Britain.
On this website, you can get an insight into the innovations that the Romans brought to the country, the changes they made to everyday life and how and why they built the foundations of a new civilization throughout the land.
Before the Romans came to Britain, the country was divided into a mass of tribes. Uncoordinated, and with no proper governmental structure, the island was ruled by kings, each having a section of Britain that they controlled. There were frequent incursions into other territories, so the country was in a permanent state of unease.
Then the Romans invaded in 43AD. and brought a new style of leadership. They built an effective road structure, towns, homes and made Britain into one of the wealthiest and most valuable provinces in the Roman empire.
Rome was THE powerhouse of the ancient world and where it went, it left change -- some fo rthe good, some for the bad. There was nothing that could stand up to the might of Rome -- many tried, many even hurt Rome a bit, but in the end, they ALL submitted.
