Category talk:Maps of Roman Britain

This is a rare instance whereby controversy can only be avoided by adding categories to what seems from historical versus geographic perspectives to be an open conflict. It actually avoids the academic controversy between those branches of humanities. UK current geography centred experts will insist Britain was largely taken as one entity by the Romans and bore something of a history of its own - this is a view shared by many European celtic scholars for instance. Strict chronological historians disavow this. They see that only England, Scotland and Wales (and to a lesser degree Ireland) can link their true identities, and their self-governing histories quite directly from these records and maps even under the English heptarchy, then came Britain as a main notion as it regrew today. That is, as more of a territory-building and particularly Henry VIII ministry device, until finally the Act of Union. It is best to take the view that neither taxonomy is ideal, no-one talks of any kind of Category: History of the British Isles in series terms. Furthermore, no serious scholar wishes not to see a clear link to the Roman centuries (and often prior tribes shown on maps) of the archaeologically and technologically rich 1st Millennium under their English, Welsh or Scottish maps of history sections! Which covers every other period of time for these re-kindled entities.Adam37 (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
