Romano British - Is there really such a thing?

[Kel]

So is Romano British a simple label for that period of time when there was open access to the Roman cultural package for those inhabitants of these islands who wanted or could afford it ?

Maybe not quite that simple (I wish!). There were areas of southern Britain in the Late Iron Age, pre-AD43, where Roman cultural gubbins was available. Using the above definition, we'd have to do away with the term "Late Iron Age" as a stand-alone reference and substitute it with some kind of local label e.g. "Late Iron Age/Romano-British: Colchester Phase".

I'm still not certain that adopting aspects of a foreign culture, fundamentally alters an indigenous culture. I like a saag aloo as much as the next man, but I'm not Anglo-Indian.
