Introduction
Before the Romans came to Britain, the country was divided into a mass of tribes. Uncoordinated, and with no proper governmental structure, the island was ruled by kings, each having a section of Britain that they controlled. There were frequent incursions into other territories, so the country was in a permanent state of unease.
Then the Romans invaded in 43AD. and brought a new style of leadership. They built an effective road structure, towns, homes and made Britain into one of the wealthiest and most valuable provinces in the Roman empire. |
