ROMANS IN BRITAIN

THE ROMAN EMPIRE

The Roman empire began in 27 B.C. The Romans conquered all the riparian

countries(Ribereño) with the Mediterranean, all the known now as centre of Europe,Great Britain,Rumania,

and a part of Turkey, Arabia, and a part of north of Africa.And the Roman empire finished in 476 d.C.

Around 2,000 years ago, Britain was ruled by tribes of people called the Celts. But this was about to change. For around a century, the Roman army had

been building an Empire across Europe. Now is the time for Britain!

How did the Romans conquest Britain?

The Romans wanted Britain's precious metals.

They called the land ‘Britannia’, which meant 'land of tin'. However, they weren't just a destructive force - they built new forts, new settlements and roads. They spread their culture, language and laws.

LIFE IN BRITAIN1. Life in Roman Britain

When the Romans came to Britain they brought their way of life with them. Over time, the people of Britain and the Romans mixed. The

Britons began to live the Roman lifestyle and the Romans took on local customs.

The Romans built new towns. These were often protected by walls and there was everything a citizen of Roman Britain would need inside -

houses, shops, meeting spaces, workshops, temples and bathhouses.They also built grand country houses called 'villas'. These had many rooms, some with beautifully painted walls, mosaic floors and even

central heating.

HOUSES

2. What were houses like?Most of Roman Britain was a wild place, with forests and

mountains where few people lived.People mainly lived in small villages of wooden houses with

thatched roofs, much as they had before the Romans arrived.However, some wealthy Romans lived in villas and palaces. Villas

were large farms with a big house for the owners. They had lots of servants and farm workers to help run the villa.

Most of the Roman villas found by archaeologists are in the south of England.

FAMILY

3. What was a roman family like?Men were in charge of the family in Roman Britain. Mothers were

thought to be less important than fathers.Life for women in Roman times was often hard. Women were

expected to run the home, cook meals and raise children. Wealthy women were lucky: they had slaves to do the work for them.

Many girls were married at the age of 14. Marriages were often arranged between families. A man could divorce his wife if she did

not give birth to a son. Many women died young in their 30s, because childbirth could be dangerous.

BUILDING• 4. What technology did they bring?• The Romans were good at building roads and bridges, but not so keen on

machines. They had slaves to do the heavy work and nasty jobs.• Although they didn’t invent the arch, the Romans were the first people to build

arches into big buildings and aqueducts. Romans used aqueducts to supply towns with water from springs, rivers or lakes. Aqueducts were like a bridge with a stone channel to carry water on top.

• The Romans liked to keep clean. Towns and forts had underground drains to take away dirty water and sewage. The drain pipes were flushed with water from the baths, so they didn't get too smelly. Fresh water and sewers are important. Without them, people risk catching diseases.

• The Romans were most famous for their roads. To make sure soldiers and supplies could move from town to town quickly, the Romans made their roads as straight as possible.
