Year 3 Early Settlers – Why did the Iron Age period end in AD43?

“They are very tall in stature, with rippling muscles under clear white skin. Their hair is blond, but not naturally so: they bleach it, to this day, artificially, washing it in lime and combing it back from their foreheads. They look like wood-demons, their hair thick and shaggy like a horse’s mane. Some of them are clean-shaven, but others – especially those of high rank – shave their cheeks but leave a moustache that covers the whole mouth”
Diodorus Siculus (A Roman historian)

    1. The Roman people were invaders.
    2. The Romans conquered Britain because people in the Iron age were fighting other tribes but Queen Boudicca forced all her tribes to come and kill the Romans and Boudicca won but maybe the Romans were too tough so they went to go to the Iron age and seen if they could beat them instead and the wanted all the land they were too greedy so maybe they were weak trying to beat over Boudicca.
    3.A tribe is a division of some other people.

    1.The Romans one over Celts because they were only new begginers and maybe they had Just started so the Romans won because the Romans used hard and rigid swords and shields and the celts didn’t use that much so.
    2.It tells me that the Anglo Saxons were enjoying the tribe and they were part of the Britain tribe and they won.

    Because they were stealing and they built a huge fort down the river so people won’t attack them or take them weapons and tools and steal them or because they built it for Thames and traders to come.
