How 'Roman' was Roman-Britain? | Britannia 55BC to AD69

Back at school, you may have learned that the Romans conquered Britain in AD43, and that from that point, Britian became 'Roman'. However, history is never that straight forward. Join curators Julia Farley and Richard Hobbs as they take you through the material culture of Britannia from the 55BC to the end of Nero's reign in 69AD.
