Roman Britain is usually thought of as a land full of togas towns and baths with Britons happily going about their Roman lives under the benign gaze of Rome This is to a great extent a myth that developed after Roman control of Britain came to an end in particular when the British Empire was at its height in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries In fact Britain was one of the least enthusiastic elements of the Roman Empire Many failed to acknowledge the Roman lifestyle at all while many others were only outwardly Romanised clinging to their own identities under the occupation Even the Roman army in Britain became chronically rebellious and a source of instability that ultimately affected the whole Empire As Roman power weakened the Britons abandoned both Rome and almost all Roman culture and the island became a land of warring kingdoms as it had been before
