Roman Britain — Revolt, Frontier & Empire

Roman Britain did not stop with the invasion of AD 43. This hub follows conquest into occupation: Boudica's revolt, the army that held the province, the building of Hadrian's Wall, frontier life and the long decline of Roman rule.

Core reading

• Boudica's Revolt AD 60–61
• Hadrian's Wall AD 122
• Battle of the Medway AD 43
• When Did Roman Britain End?

The aim is to treat Roman Britain as a military system rather than a list of emperors: invasion, revolt, roads, forts, auxiliary units, frontiers, supply and the changing relationship between Rome and the peoples it ruled.
