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.


When did the picts invade Britain?

The Picts, a group of Celtic tribes from what is now Scotland, did not invade Britain in a single event but were rather present in the region from around the 3rd century AD. They often raided Roman Britain, particularly during the 4th and 5th centuries, as Roman control weakened. Their interactions with the Romans and later Anglo-Saxon settlers were complex and included both conflict and trade. The Picts remained a significant force in the region until their eventual integration into the Kingdom of Scotland in the early medieval period.
