• 43: the Romans successfully invade Britain (emperor Claudius) and start their conquest
• Britannia (Roman Britain)

Roman Britain

Hadrian's Wall

• AD 43: the Romans invaded Britain. 
• They took control over most of what is now 

     England and Wales.

• Resistance in the North was too tough for them.

• He decided to build a very long wall to keep the Barbarians out.
