R ome invaded and conquered most of Britain starting in 43 CE. All the kingdoms and peoples in what is now England became parts of several provinces of the Roman Empire. The conquest took a lot of hard fighting, and Rome kept several legions in Britain to make sure invaders did not take over the provinces.




F or about 400 years the Roman provinces in Britain flourished. The climate was good, trade was good, and the legions kept wars and violence to a minimum.
