Abstract:

Argues that recent claims that the history of Roman Britain has been discussed in terms of 'Romanization' since the beginning of the seventeenth century are an oversimplification. Suggests that during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there was a focus on the bringing of 'civility' to England, with a minimal consciousness of material culture, and a focus on military identity. Argues that only in the later nineteenth century did an idea of cultural 'Romanization' become prominent in scholarly discussions, and that scholarly understandings of the history of Roman Britain have been continually rewritten to reflect the nature of the relationship between the English and their empire.
