The Romans ruled Britain for over 400 years from 43 AD to 409 AD. They spoke Latin and left a lasting impact on British infrastructure, with ruins of Roman buildings, forts, roads, and baths still visible today. The Romans established a strong military presence with legions of over 5,000 soldiers stationed in various forts across Britain. Roman families were typically large, with married sons and their families living together under one roof along with slaves.
