In AD43, the Romans began their invasion of Britain.
For the next 400 years, most of Britain would be a far-flung province of the Roman Empire.
A huge wall was constructed in the north to mark the furthest limit of Roman control. It is still there today, Hadrian's Wall.
But for all the so-called civilisation that the Romans brought, the Britons weren't convinced.
Roman rule was harsh and eventually there was an explosion.
The tribes of eastern Britain rose in revolt under a Queen whose name resonates down the centuries...Boudica.
