Roman invasion of Britain

The Roman invasion of Britain began in 43 AD when Roman Emperor Claudius sent an army to conquer the territory. Motivated by the desire for new land, resources, and strategic advantage, the Romans fought various native tribes and gradually established control over much of Britain. They built roads, towns, and forts, integrating the island into the Roman Empire. The occupation lasted nearly four centuries, influencing Britain's development in infrastructure, culture, and governance, until Roman withdrawal around 410 AD. This period significantly shaped Britain's history, leaving a lasting Roman legacy in its archaeological and cultural landscape.
