TPO47 Roman Cultural Influence on Britain

 

Supremacy was accentuated by the unyielding straight lines of both individual buildings and planned settlements since these too provided a marked contrast with the natural curvilinear shapes dominant in the native realm.

 

Practical and unimpressive, most were barely taller than the average adult.

the positioning of buildings in clusters
 

We should not underestimate the social status associated with such mundane possessions which had not previously been available.

 

Many objects were not art in even the broadest sense and comprised utilitarian items of clothing, utensils, and equipment.

 

The flooding of Britain with red-gloss pottery from Gaul (modern-day France), decorated with scenes from Classical mythology, probably brought many into contact with the styles and artistic concepts of the Greco-Roman world for the first time, whether or not the symbolism was understood.
