EARLY HISTORY OF BRITAIN (Pre-Roman Period)
• Many centuries ago (about the 4th century B.C.) the country we now call England was known as Britain, and the people who lived there were called Britons (sometimes Brythons).
• They were the Celtic people living in Great Britain from the Iron Age through the Early Middle Ages. They spoke the Celtic language known as British or Brythonic.
• That primitive society had a warrior class. They did the actual fighting, the free poor served as chariot drivers. Part of a warrior's ritual was to boast of his victories, and fighting between warriors was an im¬portant part of life.
• Bronze Age Britons practised the art of mummification at the same time as the Egyptians. Archaeologists unearthed the skeletons of a man, a4woman, and a 3-year-old girl under the floor of a prehistoric house at Cladh Hallan on the Scottish island of South Uist. ПОДРОБНЕЕ....

Roman Period
• The Ancient Romans invasion started in A.D. 43. It was led by Aulus Plautius. It is not known how many Roman legions were sent; but one legion was commanded by the future emperor Vespasian.
• A Roman soldier wore body armour and a metal helmet on his head. His shield was shaped like a curved playing card.
• A fancy helmet like this was probably worn for parades or sports events. Roman swords were short. This sword probably belonged to a Roman army officer.
• Roman army boots were like sandals, but stronger with iron nails in the soles. Hard-wearing, but easy to slip when running on wet stones! You could hear Roman soldiers coming - tramp, tramp, tramp along the road!
• This small statue shows a Roman soldier of the 2nd century A.D. Only men could be in the Roman Army. Soldiers had to stay in the army for at least 25 years! Then they could retire, with a pension or a gift of land to farm. ПОДРОБНЕЕ...
