Outline

They decimated cities while building new ones in their destructive path. They killed thousands while bringing civilisation to the remaining population.

Rome’s British invasion and nearly 400-hundred-year rule was a paradoxical campaign of annihilation and growth.

This three-part exploration of the Roman Empire’s occupation of Britain examines why they attacked, where they conquered, how they industrialised and exploited the land and what made them vulnerable to the revolt that signalled the ultimate fall of Rome.
