Go to Maiden Castle in Dorset which is still a fine example and you will see evidence of iron age Britain with remnants on display from this area dating back 2,000 years.

At around 150 BC trade had started between Britain and the continent. The trading used to be for raw materials like tin, finished goods like silver and gold, wine, pottery and coins and even slaves.

Julius Caesar came to Britain in 55 BC, but only succeeded in establishing a temporary bridgehead. After another abortive attempt the following year, the Romans left Britain well alone for a century until the Romans came back in full force in 43 AD.

There were over 20 different separate Kingdoms in total in Britain at that time and with no coalition treaty possible with each other, it made it very easy for the Romans to invade Britain and attack the feudal Kingdoms one at a time and wipe them out.

Within a year the Romans had conquered large parts of Britain and by 60 AD controlled most of Britain south of the River Humber.

A revolt by the Iceni tribe in present day Anglia led by their Queen Boudica was later crushed by the superior military knowledge and capability of the Romans.

After that they built a network of roads and pushed North into Scotland and failed to pin down and harm the Celts, so they built a massive Wall called Hadrian’s Wall in 122 AD from Newcastle to Carlisle which you can still visit today.

The other wall that they built, the Antonine Wall, was not a proper wall but just a wall of turf, in the Lowlands (Glasgow to Edinburgh). It was started in 142 AD and then abandoned in 163 AD.
