FROM THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND
1 Many hundred years ago (about the 4th century before our era) the country we now call
England was known as Britain, and the people who lived there were the Britons. They belonged
to the Celtic race; the language they spoke was Celtic. Their culture, that is to say their way of
thinking
and
their
understanding
of
nature,
was
very
primitive.
2 In the first century before our era Britain was conquered by the powerful state of Rome. The
Romans lived on the peninsula, which is now called Italy and their language was Latin. They
were very clever at making hard roads, building bridges and many-storied houses. The Romans
thought a great deal of fighting and they usually managed to win most of the battles they fought.
The Romans had heard very much about Britain from travelers and among other things they were
greatly interested to learn what valuable metals could be found in Britain.
3 Finally they decided to occupy the island. The Romans sailed across the sea in galleys and
the general who commanded them was Julius Caesar.Caesar wrote many interesting accounts of
Britain. His soldiers were clever enough, but it was not so easy to conquer the Britons, and the
Romans had to encamp troops all over the country.
4 It is from these camps that the English cities later arose. Many things the Romans taught
the Britons were given Latin names. They made the Britons build roads and bridges. But the Romans and the natives of Britain did not become one nation (never mixed one with the other); all
that
the Romans
wanted
was
to make
the Britons
work
for
them.
