Britain in Caesar’s time

The inhabitants of Britain when Caesar came there were a mixed people formed from various racial groups. As in Gaul, the predominant racial strain was the Celtic, which spread through the greater part of England and Wales, and a considerable part of southern Scotland. The latest group of these people were the Belgae, who arrived in Britain just before Caesar’s expeditions.

While in the remote section of Britain barbarous conditions prevailed, the inhabitants of Britain were in many ways a civilized race. By political and cultural ties the Britons of the south-east were closely connected with the tribes of northern Gaul. One of Caesar’s chief reasons for invading Britain was to put an end to the assistance to the Gauls.

In social and political organization conditions among the Britons approached those, which prevailed in Gaul. Clans grew into larger “communities”, as Caesar calls them. Successful chiefs assumed the status of petty kings. The druids were the educated class. They controlled religious beliefs and practices, and dominated many other aspects of life.

Town life was developing in the large fortified villages, which later became the flourishing cities of Roman Britain. One of the most important of these, because of its strategic position for trade, was Londinium (London), which dated from the pre-Roman period. The tribal capitals were well protected from enemies, and in addition there were many hill strongholds.
