Roman Britain

The Romanisation of Britain was hugely influential to our small island. Be it a major conurbation or half-forgotten Roman Road, there will be somewhere not far from you. Should you wish to venture farther afield and require assistance in booking coaches, workshops or accommodation, do contact us.

Here are some ideas.

Londinium: British Museum Roman Galleries, Museum of London Roman Galleries

Guided walk of London ‘Square Mile’ or create your own route to include the Bloomberg Mithraeum, Guildhall Amphitheatre, Billingsgate Roman Bathhouse, Leadenhall Forum & Basilica, Tomb of the Teenage Girl, Guy’s Hospital Roman Barge (talking statue), St Bride’s Church, All Hallows Church, Southwark Cathedral & St. Magnus the Martyr, Greenwich Romano-British Temple.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre

Day Trip into Roman Wales: Newport Museum, Caerwent and Caerleon

 

 


Vectis, Magnus Portus, Fishbourne and Bignor
Vectis and its environs featured strongly in the Claudian Invasion. Eventually subdued by the Second Legion Augusta under Vespasian, the area became an important agricultural and import/export centre and offers a wealth of evidence for the Romanisation of Southern Britannica.
