But he was struggling to overcome it. Where Caesar failed the Emperor Claudius, in AD 43, succeeded and the mighty Roman Empire arrived to expand from Cairo to Carlisle. The Romans in Britain explains to the story of 400 tumultuous years under Roman rule. A colourful and cosmopolitan people, the Romano-British created a unique part of the historical world by merging their own Celtic customs with the elegance of Roman civilization. Presented with heat and wit, historian and archaeologist Guy de la Bédoyère calls for us on a fascinating tour through Britain which is really as much an excursion in sociable geography as it is a lively and surprising history.
