This episode covers Britannia during the late Roman Empire from the reigns of Septimius Severus through the Third Century Crisis all the way to the end of Roman Britain. It focuses on Britannia's role as just another constituent part of the Empire and how it affected Roman politics such as the appointment of Constantine the Great there.

Recommended books:

P. Salway - Roman Britain: A Very Short Introduction (2015) - A very cheap and accessible book, Salway has many other general narratives of Roman Britain as well.;

O. Hekster - Rome and its Empire, AD 193-284 (2008);

R. Collins - Early Medieval Europe, 300-1000 (2010) - Genuinely a phenomenal book for greater European context of the period.

Ten Minute English and British History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.
