| | Early Britain--Roman Britain |
 | | But the British barrows bear abundant testimony to its having been in prehistoric times the commonest of all materials for ornamental purposes—far commoner than in any other country. | | | This treatment of the soil was, according to Pliny, a British invention[24] (though the Greeks of Megara had also tried it), and he thinks it worth his while to give a long description of the different clays in use and the methods of their application. | | | The other was the coincidence that just at this period the British tribes began to be affected by the turbulent stage of constitutional development connected, in Greece and Rome, with the abolition of royalty. |

| | For 400 years, Rome brought a unity and order to Britain that it had never had before. | | | Did ordinary people suffer under a tyranny, when Rome seized power in Britain, or were there advantages to foreign rule? | | | This defined them as something different from those people who came after them, colouring their national mythology, so that the Welsh could see themselves as the true heirs of Britain, whilst the Scots and Irish were proud of the fact that they had never been conquered by Rome. |

| | By now the British had built their technology to a degree where they could produce goods that were of equal quality to the Samian ware and copies of the Gallic designs began to be made in Britain. | | | Up to the invasion, the British made pottery, but it was of a lower quality than their Gallic cousins in Europe were producing, so hardly any was exported. | | | The British wasted no time in learning new techniques from the Romans to improve the quality of their products to a level the Romans would accept. |

| | The term Romano-British describes the romanised culture of Britannia under the rule of the Roman Empire, when Roman and Christian culture had extensively entered into the life of the native Brythonic and Pictish peoples of Britain. | | | But for the vast number of British inhabitants, who were peasants tied to the soil, citizenship would not dramatically alter daily operation of their lives. | | | One vector of Roman influence into British life was the grant of Roman citizenship. |
