LIFE WITH THE ROMANS

This book is about a very exciting period in Britain's history, when the island was invaded and settled by the Romans. The landscape was dramatically changed and the British people were 'Romanised'.

What did the Romans want with a small, wet, hilly island off the coast of Gaul? How did life in Britain change when it became absorbed into the greatest Empire in the world? What lasting legacies did Roman culture and society leave which can be seen today?

When the Roman army finally left after 350 years of occupation, Britain was exposed to barbarian invaders and it was not long before the Roman way of life had vanished completely.
