On that basis 'Roman' would be a much better label than 'Romano-British' - in my experience the latter usually just elicits a blank look from members of the 'public', but they've all heard of the Romans, Hadrian's Wall, forts, villas, mosaics etc, if only from school projects and Time Team. After all, we as archaeologists generally only apply the 'Romano-British' label to the exact same period (43-410) covered as 'Roman' in schools
