Why did the Romans invade Britain?

The Roman invasion of Britain could be the most significant event ever to happen to the British Isles. The Romans affected our language, our culture, our geography, our architecture and even the way we think.

Around 2,000 years ago, Britain was ruled by tribes of people called the Celts. But this was about to change.

For around 100 years (a century), the Roman army had been building an empire across Europe.

The Romans wanted Britain's precious metals gold, tin and iron – and its cattle.

A number of Roman emperors wanted the glory of conquering Britain and adding it to the empire.
