Port at Londinium

(Trevelyan, A Shortened History of England, p. 28)

In Britain, after a great initial success, they [the Romans] had complete ultimate failure. 'From the Romans who once ruled Britain,' wrote Haverfield, the great student of the archaeology of the occupation, 'we Britons have inherited practically nothing.' In the end, (…) the Latin life of the cities, the villas, the arts, the language, and the political organization of Rome vanished like a dream.

(Churchill, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, p.26)

For nearly three hundred years Britain, reconciled to the Roman system, enjoyed in many respects the happiest, most comfortable, and most enlightened times its inhabitants have ever had (...) In this period (...) persons in Britain lived better than they ever did until late Victorian times.
