The Roman's Came To Britain To Invade And To Take Over Which They Did,But Britain Stopped Growing In Second Century AD,Because Nobody Came Over To Live Because The Taxes Were Going Up!

Britain Was Under Attack By Saxon Pirates,From Germany,Picts From North,Scots From Ireland.

The Army Was Failing Because It Was Too Short Of Men And There Was Too Much Territory...

To Solve This Problem They Let The Barbarians Join Their Army To Keep The Number Of People Up!

But Civil War Made It Worse Because Genardis Fought Each Other So Wile The Romans Were Away The Barbarians Invaded And Wrecked The Land..Xx

Emperors Diocletian and Constantine Made The Empire Stronger By Building Wall's And Fort's And Split The Empire In 2, To Make It Easier To Rule.

The Goth's Fell Out With The Romans In AD 378, They Had A Huge Fall Out Like Best Friend's Do. But At Adrianople. The Goth's Started To Go To Rome! They Wanted The Empire..

Therefore The Roman's Pulled Troop's Out Of Britain To Protect Rome That Is When They Left Briatain AD 407..

When The Goth's Reached Rome In AD 410 They Killed, Burned, Destroyed Everything They Could Carry From Rome..

The Roman Empire Was Now Split,The West Was Falling Apart..Thank You

The Romans invaded southern England in 43 AD, not in 60 AD. It is thought that the emperor Claudius wanted to invade to boost his political position in Rome. He had been proclaimed emperor by the imperial guard which had murdered his predecessor, Caligula. The peoples of southern England already had diplomatic ties and trading relations with the Romans before the invasions. There were wars between British kings. Claudius organised the invasion to reinstate Verica the exiled king of the Atrebates who had been deposed and exiled after losing a war.

Northern England was invaded in 79-80 AD. The emperor Vespasian ordered the general Agricola to carry this out.

Claudius may have decided to invade because of some information on British wealth, or because he needed to show military strength for his own prestige.
