Roman conquest of Britain

Vespasian took a force westwards subduing tribes and capturing oppida as he went, going as least as far as Exeter and probably reaching Bodmin. The Ninth Legion was sent north towards Lincoln and within four years of the invasion it is likely that an area south of a line from the Humber to the Severn Estuary was under Roman control. That this line is followed by the Roman road of the Fosse Way has led many historians to debate the route's role as a convenient frontier during the early occupation. It is more likely that the border between Roman and Iron Age ...

Commius soon established himself as king of the British Atrebates, a kingdom he may have founded. Their territory comprised modern Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey, centred on the capital Calleva Atrebatum (modern Silchester). The settlement of the Atrebates in Britain was not a mass population movement. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe argues that they "seem to have comprised a series of indigenous tribes, possibly with some intrusive Belgic element, given initial coherence by Commius". It is possible that the name "Atrebates", as with ...

In the year 1217 Hubert de Burgh King Henry III's justiciar compelled king Louis of France to agree to peace terms.

Little is known of Aulus Plautius's early career. An inscription reveals he was involved in the suppression of a slave revolt in Apulia, probably in 24, alongside Marcus Aelius Celer.[1] He was suffect consul for the second half of 29, and held a provincial governorship, probably of Pannonia, in the early years of Claudius's reign: another inscription shows he oversaw the building of a road ...

It is important to recognise the theological issues raised by the antiquity of the Celtic Church and the influence its existence may have had on Roman Catholicism. Once these issues are joined in the context of renewed nationalism in modern church movements, Celtic revivalism and neo-paganism, the debate becomes complicated. At the heart of the debate between the Roman Church and the Celtic or Culdee Church, as it was called, and the issues that made this a theological one, was the Roman Church's claim that Peter founded the church. T ...

The phrase Celtic Christianity has come into current used to describe a modern revival of what is believed to be a more spiritually free form of Christianity abandoned after the Synod of Whitby enforced Roman Catholicism as the standard form of Christianity in the British Isles (see Culdee.) Many believe that this older worship more closely resembled Eastern Orthodoxy. It is also considered very close to Anglicanism in many respects. Celtic Christianity is at present undergoing something of a revival: in the North of England at ...

Due to the difficulties in communications at this time, it was inevitable that variations between the local churches would arise. Although the practice by Bishops, upon their ordination, of circulating a statement of their beliefs did minimize these differences somewhat, this help was lost to the congregations in the British isles and Armorica with the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. When missionaries from the Mediterranean met with those local congregations that did survive, they found differences in practice, doctrine and governm ...

The local economy has benefited from significant investment by Pfizer, a US pharmaceuticals company, which has built a research and development centre near Sandwich, employing over 5,000 people. Laboratory experiments at the site have aroused negative comment by animal rights activists. Several important drugs including Viagra, Pfizer's treatment for erectile dysfunction, were discovered here. The presence of this single high-tech research centre in the region leads to significant structural unemployment of highly qualified scientists. Sandwich has a world-class golf course, Royal St George's wh ...

The Gaulish Atrebates lived in or around modern Artois in northern France. Their capital, Nemetocenna, is now the city of Arras. In 57 BC they were part of a Belgic military alliance in response to Julius Caesar's conquests elsewhere in Gaul, contributing 15,000 men. Caesar took this build-up as a threat and marched against it, but the Belgae had the advantage of position and the result was a stand-off. When no battle was forthcoming the Belgic alliance broke up, determining to gather to defend whichever tribe Caesar attacked. Caesar subsequently marched ag ...

Plautius was a (probably distant) relative of Claudius's first wife, Plautia Urgulanilla. Quintus Plautius, who was consul in 36, was probably his younger brother. His sister married Publius Petronius; their (adopted?) son, Publius Petronius Turpilianus, was later consul and governor of Britain. Plautius's wife, Pomponia Graecina, after the execution of her kinswoman Claudia Julia by Claudius and Messalina, remained in mourning for forty years in open, and unpunished, defiance of the emperor. In 57 she was charged with a "foreign supe ...

The Celtic Christians saw themselves as independent of the Roman church as evidenced from the British Bishop Diaothus' reply to St. Augustine on the authority of Rome in Britain; In otherwords, Diaothus was saying that the Celtic Christian Church's relationship to the Bishop of Rome was the same as its relationship to any other Christian Bishopric, and nothing more. Though the Celtic Church did seem to have ecclesiastical structure, it seems to have been one consisting of a relationship of peers, Dioceses-wise. Therefore it is ...

Celtic Christianity, or The Celtic Church, is thought to be a form of Christianity as it was first received and practised by communities within Britain and Ireland which spoke the Celtic languages. The debate about the existence of the Celtic Church centres primarily around three issues arising from the early Christian experience in Britain and: What is the antiquity of the Church? Was there ecclesiastical structure enough to justify giving the church recognition as an organized Christian body? What role did Celti ...
