Lesson 5 – How Did Life in Britain Change Under the Romans? Towns, Villas and a New Way of Living (PPT + Worksheet)

Today, students explore how life transformed for people in Britain after the Roman conquest. They investigate the dramatic shift from wooden Celtic roundhouses to stone Roman villas, discovering how new materials, new designs and new technologies reshaped everyday living. Pupils examine the rise of bustling Roman cities with forums, bathhouses, temples and markets, and consider how these urban centres changed work, trade and social life.

The lesson also uncovers how culture, language and religion changed forever. Students explore the spread of Latin, the introduction of Roman gods, and the blending of Celtic and Roman traditions. Using artefacts, reconstructions and comparison tasks, pupils build a clear picture of what changed, what stayed the same, and who benefitted most from Roman rule.

Lesson Objectives
  • Explore how life transformed after the Roman conquest through changes in housing, cities and daily routines.
  • Examine the shift from roundhouses to stone villas and what this reveals about Roman influence.
  • Understand how culture, language and religion changed and how these changes shaped Britain for centuries.
