More than two thousand years ago Celts lived on the
British Isles. They lived in groups. We call these groups tribes. Every
group had its king or queen. The Romans first came to the British Isles in 55 ВС. They came with their leader Julius Caesar. They won a lot of battles and left.
The Romans came back in AD 43. They came with 40,000 soldiers. The
Romans were great builders. They built cities, roads and bridges. Their
capital in Britain was Colchester. Romans built London too. They called it Londinium.
Romans spoke Latin. A lot of Celts learnt this language. Sometimes
Celts and Romans lived together, but sometimes they were enemies. The Romans
wanted the Iceni's land and in 60 AD the Iceni tribe revolted.
