Northern England was conquered in 78 by Agricola, who was sent there by the emperor Vespasian (who had been one of the generals in the first conquest and took over the West Country). This was also a quick campaign.

What does Britannia mean?
Britannia is an allegorical figure for (or personification of) Britain, often shown seated with a lion at her feet, as on the 50 pence coin. She was first invented by the Romans 2,000 years ago and is seen as the goddess of war, and passion. Britannia has been on the back of our fifty pence coins since 1672 but won't be for long thanks to a new government campaign for a new design. So, if you don't want to break the tradition, please sign my petition, in association with THE GUARDIAN to save our Britannia!
