Best Answer

The Romans has two types of army camps, the marching camp and the semi-permanent or siege camp. The latter was, as it's name implies, used during a siege of a town. Both types of camp had the identical interior, which basically consisted of two streets crossing each other, dividing the camp into four parts. They had an assembly area, legate's quarters and shrine. The marching camp was surrounded with a ditch(sometimes with spikes in it) and the soil from the ditch was banked up as a wall around the camp which was topped with a spiked stockade.

Who forced the Romans out of Britain?

It is thought that no one forced the Romans out of Britain. It is just that when waves of invading hordes were attacking Rome the Emperor at the time felt that he wanted his armies closer to the center of his Empire (not that it helped) and when the armies withdrew then most of the Romans living in Britain did too. Although some are thought to have stayed for many years afterwards.
