make it Province of the Roman Empire.
• Merchants and traders has discovered that Britain was rich in gold, silver,
lead, tin ,corn , meat, hunting dogs, skins and wool.
• Prisoners could become slaves back in Rome and taxes could be collected
to help run the vast Roman Empire.
Rome was a vast, wealthy city with beautiful buildings, streets
and shops, theatre and entertainments, a good water supply and
a population as large as Birmingham today. why, then were the
Romans interested in Britain???????????????
Merchants and traders had
told them of the country but
they were suspicious of the
weather and Britain’s warlike
people.
They wanted to see the
country for themselves.
