The New Britons

After Boudicca's revolt, the Romans brought a new order order to  Britain. It  became part of  the  Roman Empire  and  the Romas  began to settle there. Latin became thу  main language for administration. Everyone had to obey Roman and follow  the Roman way  of  life. Soon  it  was  hard  to  tell who had  been  born in Britain and  who  was  a foreigner. Britons  became 'Roman Britons'.
The Romans built towns and cities which became cetres  of  trade. 

Some Roman Britons grew wealthy by selling  goods  to the Romans.
Roman governers were sent  to  rule  Britain. The new  laws  brought peace although Roman Britons now had to pay taxes to Rome.    
British nobles  were  trained to  rule  their  tribes in  the Roman way. This brought peace and riches to many, although some Britons who continued to fight against  their new rulers were  captured and became  slaves. The Roman army built  good  roads so the legions  could  march to any  part of  the  country to keep  the  peace.

Roman Towns

              From about AD 150onwards, the Romans built  wallsround  their  towns to  keep  them  safe  from  attack. Strongly built towns helped  to  keep  peace and  showed the Roman Britons how good  roman life could  be. The aqueduct brought clean water to the town.Lead pipes  carried  the water underground to  the  houses.  The streets  were  straight  and laid  out  in the pattern of  a chessboard. Some  people  lived in  blocks  of  flats. Later,  more  comfortable houses were built. Some large towns had amphitheares. The most important buildings, such as the Law Court, were in the  centre  of  the town, built round  the main squaer called the Forum .There  were theatres, temples, public  baths. Sewers ran undergrouns. People came to the towns to buy and sell goods, to pay  their  taxes and  enjoy themselves. 

During Roman Times, the towns of Britain had Roman names, for example: Modern Roman Modern Roman London Londinium Canterbury Durovernum York Eboracum St. Albans Verulamium Bath Aquae Sulis Cirencester Corinium Colchester Camulodunum Chester Deva Dorchester Durnovaria Exeter Isca Scotland Caledonia
