Roman Britain explained in maps
The Roman conquering of Britain began under Emperor Claudius in AD 43. The Roman Army had approached the South West by AD 45–47 under Aulus Plautius. Large parts of Great Britain were under occupation by the Roman Empire from AD 43 to AD 410. Throughout that time, the nation has the status of a Roman province. 46,323 Roman settlers resided in Britain from various parts of the Empire.
Under the second-century emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, 2 walls were constructed to protect the Roman province from the Caledonians, whose areas in the Scottish Highlands were never occupied. Around 197 AD Britain was divided into 2 regions: Britannia Superior and Britannia Inferior afterward; at the end of the 3rd century, Britannia was split into 4 provinces. A 5th province, Valentia, is attested in the later 4th century.
