The Romans in Britain
43 AD to 410 AD

Who were the Romans?

 The Romans lived
in Rome, a city in
the centre of the
country of Italy.
First invasion - Caesar's
first raid

In August 55 B.C the
Roman general, Emperor
Julius Caesar invaded
Britain. He took with him
two Roman legions. After
winning several battles
against the Celtic tribes
(Britons) in south-east
England he returned to
France.
Second invasion - Caesar's
second raid

The following summer (54
B.C.) Caesar came to Britain
again, landed at Walmer near
Deal in Kent. This time he
brought with him no fewer
than five legions (30,000 foot
soldiers) and 2,000 cavalrymen
(horse riders). This time the
Romans crossed the River
Thames. After more fighting,
the British tribes promised to
pay tribute to Rome and were
then left in peace for nearly a
century.
Third and final invasion
 Nearly one hundred years
later, in 43 A.D. Emperor
Claudius organized the final
and successful Roman
invasion of Britain Many
tribes tried to resist the
Romans. It took about four
years for the invaders to
finally gain control over
southern England, and
another 30 years for them to
conquer all of the West
Country and the mountains
and valleys of Wales. The
battle for Yorkshire and the
remainder of northern
England was still underway
in AD 70..

The Roman Army
(Legion)

 The Roman army was
made up of groups of
soldiers called legions.
There were over 5,000
soldiers in a legion. Each
legion had its own
number, name, badge
and fortress. There were
about 30 legions around
the Roman Empire, three
of which were based in
Britain at Caerleon,
Chester and York.
The Roman Soldier
 Roman soldiers were very 
strong and tough, they had
to march over 20 miles a day
with heavy things to carry.
They had to carry
equipment such as tents,
food, cooking pots and
weapons as well as wearing
all their armour.
The Romans gave:

 Language.
The language we used today was developed from
the Romans. The Romans spoke and wrote in Latin
and many of the words are based on Latin words.
 Laws and a legal system.
 The laws and ways we determine what to do with
someone who is accused of breaking a law came
originally from the Roman Empire.


 The Calendar.

The calendar we use today is more than 2,000 years old.
It was started by Julius Caesar, a Roman ruler. It is based on
the movement of the earth around the sun, and so is called
the 'solar calendar.' The solar calendar has 365 days a year,
and 366 days every leap year, or every fourth year. The
names of our months are taken from the names of Roman
gods and rulers. The month 'July,' in fact, is named after
Julius Caesar himself!
 Central heating
 Concrete
 Aqueducts (bridges for water)
 Straight roads


The Census. The Roman Empire was huge and
included millions of people living over a large area.
How did they keep track of all these people? Easy! They
counted them! The Roman Empire began the practice of
taking a census, or a 'count,' of all the people within its
boundaries every so often. Today, many countries take a
census every 10 years.
Roman Baths
Every town had its own bath 
complex (like a large
swimming pool). The Romans
built magnificent public bath
houses in towns across their
empire. People went to the
public baths for entertainment,
healing or just to get clean.
Some people went to the public
baths to meet friends and
spend their spare time there.
Large bath houses had
restaurants games rooms snack
bars and even libraries.
What was Hadrian's
Wall?

 Unlike the rest of Britain, Scotland
was never considered part of the
Roman Empire. The Roman
armies invaded Scotland several
times and even defeated the
northern tribes a few times, but
they never controlled Scotland.
Hadrian's Wall was a stone barrier
built to separate the Romans and
the Picts tribes in Scotland. It
allowed Roman soldiers to control
the movements of people coming
into or leaving Roman Britain.
Roman Gods and
Religion

 People worshipped the
gods in temples where they
made sacrifices of animals
and precious things.
Sometimes a temple was
built to only worship one of
the gods. A temple to all
gods was known as a
pantheon. It was named
after the word for the entire
collection of their gods
called the Pantheon.
