Britannia From Caesar’s 55 BC reconnaissance to the legions’ final withdrawal in AD 410, Britain was central to the Roman world. This STQ examines Claudius’ AD 43 conquest, the Boudiccan revolt, Agricola’s northern campaigns, Hadrian’s Wall strategy, Constantine’s British victories, and the Saxon Shore fortifications and final battles with Anglo‑Saxons. It details Roman and Celtic armies, the mystery of Legion IX, Roman road strategy, and Britannic warlords’ continental interventions. The conclusion traces legends born in Roman Britannia that persisted into the medieval and modern eras.
