The Romans conquered Britain over 2000 years ago. They were attracted by resources and wanted to stop British aid to their enemies in Gaul. Under Julius Caesar and later Emperor Claudius, the Romans established control over southern Britain and built roads, towns, and walls. However, resistance continued in northern and western Britain. A major rebellion led by Boudica destroyed Roman towns before being defeated. Over centuries of rule, Roman culture influenced the Britons through language, religion, architecture and urban life. The Romans withdrew from Britain in the 5th century, leaving a lasting legacy.

5. INTRODUCTION
In the beginning of the last century, about a quarter of the world’s
population was ruled by the British. ‘The sun never goes down on
our empire’, -they said. They meant that is always daytime
somewhere in the Empire. They also meant that their empire was
for ever. Of course, no empire is for ever. Britain lost its empire
after the Second World War, but before that the British Empire was
the largest in the history of the world

6. Nevertheless, Britain was conquered by others in
the far past.
For example → THE ROMANS
We know that the Romans built the biggest empire
in the world in their time. And they didn’t worry,
or afraid of anything else, any nation,
Just like Britain

8. The Normans were not the first people who invaded Britain. Two
thousand years ago the great Roman Julius Caesar brought an army across
the sea from France. For four hundred years, England was part of the
Roman Empire. When the Romans first arrived, there were many different
groups of people. Each group had its own king. They didn’t think of
themselves as ‘British’, but the Romans called the people from all these
groups ‘Britons’. The reason that The Romans’ conquest was helping the
Briton people to Gaul .
One of Caesar’s motives was to stop the Gauls from receiving British aid,
a factor which had bothered him while he was conquering Gaul.

10. ABOUT NEXT STEPS
Caesar landed and engaged the Britons but soon withdrew
because local opposition was strong. Hundred years Later
Emperor Claudius sent an army to Britain which conquered the
southern part of the island.
In the north and west the older social order remained much
untouched, while in the south-eastern region of England, where
the Romans built most of their towns and where the Roman
type villas were concentrated, the slave-owning system
developed. Otherwise, the old way of life of the British Celts did
not change very much.

11. BOUDICA
The Romans tried many times to conquer the areas of Britain that
we now call Wales and Scotland. But they never kept control there.
In the rest of Britain, the local people were much easier to control .
But Boudica was different. Her husband was a local king in the
east of England. When he died, The Romans tried to take all his
money. Roman soldiers attacked Boudica and her daughters.
Boudica was angry.

12. Soon she had an army of Britons behind her. They attacked
Colchester, London and Saint Albans – the three most
important cities in Britain at that time – and destroyed them
completely. But in the end, the Romans defeated her. There
is a story that her body lies under London’s most famous
railway station, ‘King’s Cross’.
It was one of the liberation movements of
The Britons

14. MILITARY ROADS
A further important reform of the Roman Empire was the
network of military roads, Which the Romans according to their
custom built throughout the occupied region. In some parts of
the country these roads to this day form the basis of road
communication. The routes of some of these roads, such as
Watling Street from London to Chester; Icknield Way
connecting London with Cirencester, Gloucester and Caerleon
in South Wales, are still used today

15. BUILDINGS
The towns were fortified. Most British towns with
names ending with 'chester' were, in Roman times,
fortified camps. Many defensive walls were built
to defend the country from the attacks of the
barbarians living in the north and the west of the
country. Most outstanding was the wall built on
the orders of Emperor Hadrian, from Solway Firth
to the Tyne river, which roughly divided England
from Scotland and was to keep out the Picts.
The largest of the towns was called Londinium. It
was on the river Thames, where London is today. It
became the capital city.

17. CULTURE AND RELIGION
In many places around the country you can still see the
straight roads, strong walls and fine houses that the
Romans built. In the new Roman towns, Britons started
to live like Romans. They wore Roman clothes and went
to the theatre and the baths. Most townspeople could
speak Latin. Many could read and write it too. In the later
years of Roman rule they became Christian

19. Roman society in Britain was highly classified. At the top were those people
associated with the legions, the provincial administration, the government of
towns and the wealthy traders and commercial classes who enjoyed legal
privileges not generally accorded to the majority of the population. Then the
Emperor Caracalla extended citizenship to all free-born inhabitants of the
empire, but social and legal distinctions remained rigidly set between the
upper rank of citizens known as honest ores and the masses, known as
humiliores. At the lowest end of the scale were the slaves, many of whom
were able to gain their freedom, and many of whom might occupy important
governmental posts. Women were also rigidly circumscribed, not being
allowed to hold any public office, and having severely limited property
rights.

20. CONCLUSION
We were given a task by our teacher to prepare a report
about history of ancient Britain. During doing this task
I learned much more information about The Britons,
The Romans, their conquest to the island and influence
of the capture. Britain changed a lot. Changed their
cultural points, building styles, religion, life manner and
other points. But Britain people still British, not any
other…
