Accuracy and sources
These references support the historical wording and answer key on this worksheet.
- Metropolitan Museum of Art — The Roman Republic — supports the conventional sequence from Rome's kings to the Republic and Augustus's rule
- British Museum — Timeline of Roman Britain — dates Caesar's raids, the AD 43 invasion, Boudica's revolt and the end of Roman rule
- English Heritage — The Roman invasion — explains that Claudius began a conquest that continued for decades and never permanently absorbed the whole island
- English Heritage — Hadrian's Wall history — documents the wall's frontier functions and the western section first built in turf
- English Heritage — Why the Romans left Britain — supports describing AD 410 as a gradual end to imperial government rather than a single mass departure
