In 55 and 54bc Julius barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar came to Britain with a Roman army. Both times he made some progress into England before returning to barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar having not successfully conquered Britain. Caesar reported that the Britons were a strange breed of people, that they dyed themselves barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar and were very barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar. Caesar's visit may not have overwhelmed the island but the Romans now knew that Britain really did exist (many people thought that it was a magical or even made up Island before his visit) and that it had lots of barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar crops and minerals.

Ideas of invading Britain faded until barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar became Emperor in AD41. He was eager for people to think of him as a strong man and knew that a successful barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar would make people in Rome like him. He chose to invade barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar.

The Roman Army sailed from Boulogne in France across the English Channel and landed at Richborough in barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar. The British tribes met the Romans in a fiercely fought battle at the River barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar. After much bloodshed the Romans emerged victorious and 4 Legions went on to barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar all of England, much of Wales and parts of barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar.


In 60AD some of the Britons based in the south east decided to barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar against the Romans. They were led by Queen barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar the leader of the Iceni tribe. After a fierce fight the Britons were defeated.

Evidence of the time that the Romans were in control of Britain is not hard to find. The City of York has much that was made at this time and Hadrian's barbaricblueBoudiccaBritainCaesarClaudiusconquerFranceKentMedwayrebelScotlandvaluableWallwar is testament to the impact of the Romans on this country.
