How was coventry during roman and medieval times?
Roman Britain refers to those parts of the island Great Britain that were controlled by the Roman Empire between AD43 and 410. The Romans referred their province as Britannia. The first direct Roman contact came when the Roman general, Julius Caesar, made two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC, as an offshoot of his conquest of Gaul, believing that Britons had been helping the Gallic resistance. The Lunt Roman Fort was a Roman Fort, of an unknown name, in the Roman province of Britannia. It is widely regarded that the Lunt Fort in Baginton was used as a horse training centre by the Romans. After a Revolt of the Iceni tribe of East Anglia in 60 AD, Suetonious Paullinus, the Roman Governor of Britain, sought vengeance and set up the fort in the village. This base in Warwickshire would have been ideal for the Governor who had been overseeing a campaign in North Wales prior to this.
