The Dark Ages - when the Romans left

We've been reading some interesting comparisons between when the Romans left Britain and what happened when , for instance, the Raj left India.

Basically the Roman way of life had become so ingrained that the people of the land associated Romans and their ways with success that after they were gone much of what they did carried on.

People still called themselves by Roman names and many of the Roman habits continued down the years.

We should also say that we have launched a small website just for Hadrian's Wall.
