Romans in Britain

Romans in Britain refers to the period around 43 to 410 AD when the Roman Empire controlled parts of what is now England and Wales. The Romans established roads, towns, and forts, bringing their culture, law, and infrastructure. They built Hadrian’s Wall to defend the northern boundary and influenced local art, architecture, and society. Roman rule lasted nearly 400 years, leaving a lasting impact on British history before withdrawing due to internal struggles within the empire. This period marked a significant transformation, blending Roman and native cultures, shaping the development of Britain for centuries to come.
