Part 6/10:
The remnants of Roman Britain are evident, but so too are the signs of a thriving indigenous culture. At sites like Fishbourne Palace and Bath, sophisticated structures reveal that native Britons continued to engage with Roman aesthetics and practices without losing their identity. Recent excavations at sites such as Cadbury and Tintagel unveil intricate patterns of settlement, trade, and cultural synthesis—indicative of a society that was far from stagnant.
What has often been mislabeled as a "dark age" in fact represents a nuanced interplay of Roman influences mingled with indigenous traditions, osmosis rather than oppressions—a blend that characterized Britain’s burgeoning identity in a post-Roman context.
