The buildings of Roman Britain

Celtic buildings were usually thatched, wattle and daub roundhouses. Archaeologists can look at the remains of buildings to construct arguments about the impact of the Romans in Britain. Evidence of North African Roman soldiers has been found at Hadrian’s Wall, a major Ancient Roman architectural feature. Caerwent, Trimontium and Bath are all places that have examples of the sorts of architecture the Ancient Romans built. Rich Ancient Romans built villas in the British countryside with expensive mosaics and hypocaust systems for heating.
