520 _a"Early Britain—Roman Britain" by Edward Conybeare is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a readable overview of the historical progression and decline of Roman influence in Britain, emphasizing archaeological insights alongside classical sources. This work explores the epochs from pre-Roman Britain to the Roman occupation, highlighting the interactions and influences that shaped the early civilization in the British Isles. At the start of the book, Conybeare establishes the significance of Roman history in understanding the broader narrative of human civilization. He emphasizes the importance of understanding Britain's pre-Roman and post-Roman history, noting how Roman influence marked a turning point in the island's development. The opening sections discuss the earliest inhabitants of Britain, including the Palaeolithic and Neolithic peoples, their tools, societal structures, and beginnings of agriculture. Conybeare also introduces the Celtic tribes and notes the geographical and socio-political elements that influenced Britain's history, setting the foundation for a deeper exploration into the Roman conquest and occupation that would follow.
