Traces in the Language In Welsh - many borrowings from Latin, such as llaeth ("milk"), ffenestr ("window"). Port, fountain, mountain are also borrowed from Latin through Celtic. As to words borrowed directly, to this period belong words wall, street, measurements pound, inch, names of containers cup, dish, materials chalk, pitch. Roman influence is felt in the names of towns – element ‘chester’ originates in ‘caster’ (лагерь) + £
Religion Certain northern European ritual traits such as the significance of the number 3, the importance of the head and of water sources such as springs remain in the archaeological record. Worship of the emperor himself is widely recorded, especially at military sites. Oriental cults such as Mithraism and Christianity grew in popularity towards the end of the occupation. The Temple of Mithras is one example of the popularity of mystery religions amongst the rich urban classes and by the fourth century there is archaeological evidence of Christian worship.
Art
Trade Gold, iron, lead, silver, jet, marble and pearls were all exploited by the Romans in Britain along with more everyday commodities such as hunting dogs, animal skins, timber, wool, corn and slaves. Foreign investment created a vigorous domestic market and imports were often of exotic Continental items such as fine pottery, olive oil, glassware, and fruit.
Provincial government Imperial provinces were run by resident governors who were former senators and had held the consulship. These men were carefully selected often having strong records of military success and administrative ability.
Financial Administration Financial administration was dealt with by a procurator with junior posts for each tax-raising power. Each legion in Britain had a commander who answered to the governor and in time of war probably directly ruled troublesome districts. Below these posts was a network of administrative managers covering intelligence gathering, sending reports to Rome, organising military supplies and dealing with prisoners.
