   Текст.

     On a late summer morning in 55 BC, a Roman fleet appeared off the British coast near Dover. Consul Julius Caesar had brought an army of 10, 000 men to see if Britain was worth invading. He also wanted to punish those British tribes who had been helping  the Celts in Europe in their fight against the Romans.

    The Britons fought desperately, but they were no match for well trained Romans, and soon fled.

     After his victory, Caesar left Britain. He returned with another army in the following year but left shortly after. The Romans did not return to Britain for 97 years.

    In AD 43, the Roman Emperor, Claudius, decided to make Britain part of the Roman Empire. An army of 40, 000 Roman soldiers swam across the water in their armour and landed at Richborough in Kent. This time the Romans had come to stay.

   The chief enemy of Rome, King Caratacus, fought the Romans in Wales. But he was betrayed by the Queen of the Brigantes, captured and send to Rome as a slave.

   The Roman army swept the Britons aside and marched deep into the countryside. They made alliances with tribes and conquered others, one by one. Slowly, they drove their enemies into the mountains of Wales and Scotland.

                                     The Roman Army.

    The Roman soldiers who invaded Britain were part of the best army in the world. They were better trained and armed than the wild Britons.

    The Roman army was divided into legions, each one containing5,000 legionaries. They were taught to fight in different formations. This usually gave them an advantage over their enemies who were not so well organized. In battle the whole army could fight as one man or split into smaller groups. Trumpets were used to give the signals.

                                    British Hill Forts.

    The British tribes had built many hill forts. The Romans could not conquer Britain until they had captured these strongholds.

    There were different kinds of hill fords. Many had several ditches and walls round the hill top. A maze sometimes hid the main gate. The tribe lived in huts built inside the walls. They brought their animals into the enclosure for safety when the fort was attacked.

    В процессе чтения текстов демонстрируются фотографии и рисунки воинов, их снаряжение и военные укрепления.

  После прочтения текстов каждая группа сообщает содержание своего текста (чтение или пересказ).

    Then, in AD 60, the Iceni tribe led by their queen, Boudicca, revolved. They burnt the Roman cities of Colchester, St. Albans, London. Soon Boudicca had a huge army of 100, 000 soldiers. Hearing news of her army, the Roman Governor of Britain marched with two legions to meet the Iceni.
