Description
In AD 43, the Emperor Claudius ordered an army of 40,000 to invade Britain. In AD 410, the Emperor Honorius informed the population that Britain was no longer under Roman rule and that they now had to defend themselves. Nor was there any Roman authority to administer the country. Four centuries of a Roman presence in Britain had hitherto changed every aspect of life. Industry, trade, government, the arts, learning - even the physical appearance of the country - were all revolutionized, and the effects are still apparent nearly 2000 years later. This accessible and authoritative history outlines a critical period and provides a picture of life in Britain under Roman rule.
