Early Britain—Roman Britain

"Early Britain—Roman Britain" by John William Edward Conybeare is a history book from the 20th century that tells the story of when the Roman Empire took over and then left Britain. The book looks at Britain before the Romans, during their rule, and how their culture influenced its future, bringing together evidence found by digging up the past with old writings to understand what happened. It starts by describing the people who lived in Britain before the Romans came, like the Stone Age people and the Celts, showing how they lived and what their societies were like. Conybeare explains how these early cultures and where they lived made Britain ready for the changes that would come with the Roman invasion, setting the scene for a big shift in Britain's story.
