4. INTRODUCTION In the beginning of the last century, about a
quarter of the worlds population was ruled by the British. The sun
never goes down on our empire, -they said. They meant that is
always daytime somewhere in the Empire. They also meant that their
empire was for ever. Of course, no empire is for ever. Britain lost
its empire after the Second World War, but before that the British
Empire was the largest in the history of the world
5. Nevertheless, Britain was conquered by others in the far
past. For example THE ROMANS We know that the Romans built the
biggest empire in the world in their time. And they didnt worry, or
afraid of anything else, any nation, Just like Britain
6. The Normans were not the first people who invaded Britain.
Two thousand years ago the great Roman Julius Caesar brought an
army across the sea from France. For four hundred years, England
was part of the Roman Empire. When the Romans first arrived, there
were many different groups of people. Each group had its own king.
They didnt think of themselves as British, but the Romans called
the people from all these groups Britons. The reason that The
Romans conquest was helping the Briton people to Gaul . One of
Caesars motives was to stop the Gauls from receiving British aid, a
factor which had bothered him while he was conquering Gaul.
7. ABOUT NEXT STEPS Caesar landed and engaged the Britons but
soon withdrew because local opposition was strong. Hundred years
Later Emperor Claudius sent an army to Britain which conquered the
southern part of the island. In the north and west the older social
order remained much untouched, while in the south-eastern region of
England, where the Romans built most of their towns and where the
Roman type villas were concentrated, the slave-owning system
developed. Otherwise, the old way of life of the British Celts did
not change very much.
8. BOUDICA The Romans tried many times to conquer the areas of
Britain that we now call Wales and Scotland. But they never kept
control there. In the rest of Britain, the local people were much
easier to control . But Boudica was different. Her husband was a
local king in the east of England. When he died, The Romans tried
to take all his money. Roman soldiers attacked Boudica and her
daughters. Boudica was angry.
9. Soon she had an army of Britons behind her. They attacked
Colchester, London and Saint Albans the three most important cities
in Britain at that time and destroyed them completely. But in the
end, the Romans defeated her. There is a story that her body lies
under Londons most famous railway station, Kings Cross. It was one
of the liberation movements of The Britons
10. MILITARY ROADS A further important reform of the Roman
Empire was the network of military roads, Which the Romans
according to their custom built throughout the occupied region. In
some parts of the country these roads to this day form the basis of
road communication. The routes of some of these roads, such as
Watling Street from London to Chester; Icknield Way connecting
London with Cirencester, Gloucester and Caerleon in South Wales,
are still used today
11. BUILDINGS The towns were fortified. Most British towns with
names ending with 'chester' were, in Roman times, fortified camps.
Many defensive walls were built to defend the country from the
attacks of the barbarians living in the north and the west of the
country. Most outstanding was the wall built on the orders of
Emperor Hadrian, from Solway Firth to the Tyne river, which roughly
divided England from Scotland and was to keep out the Picts. The
largest of the towns was called Londinium. It was on the river
Thames, where London is today. It became the capital city.
12. CULTURE AND RELIGION In many places around the country you
can still see the straight roads, strong walls and fine houses that
the Romans built. In the new Roman towns, Britons started to live
like Romans. They wore Roman clothes and went to the theatre and
the baths. Most townspeople could speak Latin. Many could read and
write it too. In the later years of Roman rule they became
Christian
13. Roman society in Britain was highly classified. At the top
were those people associated with the legions, the provincial
administration, the government of towns and the wealthy traders and
commercial classes who enjoyed legal privileges not generally
accorded to the majority of the population. Then the Emperor
Caracalla extended citizenship to all free-born inhabitants of the
empire, but social and legal distinctions remained rigidly set
between the upper rank of citizens known as honest ores and the
masses, known as humiliores. At the lowest end of the scale were
the slaves, many of whom were able to gain their freedom, and many
of whom might occupy important governmental posts. Women were also
rigidly circumscribed, not being allowed to hold any public office,
and having severely limited property rights.
14. CONCLUSION We were given a task by our teacher to prepare a
report about history of ancient Britain. During doing this task I
learned much more information about The Britons, The Romans, their
conquest to the island and influence of the capture. Britain
changed a lot. Changed their cultural points, building styles,
religion, life manner and other points. But Britain people still
British, not any other
