Who were the Britons?
About 500-600 BC new people – the Celts-appeared in Britain. They were tall, strong people with long, red or sandy hair, armed with iron swords and knives which were much stronger than the bronze weapons of native population. They crossed the English Channel from the territory of the present day France. These people were called Britons and the island- Britannia.
The Britons were skillful workers. They made things of iron, bronze, tin, clay and wood, decorated them with beautifully drawn lines and patterns. They made money of gold and silver. They began to make roads, along which they travelled about the country, buying and selling things.
There were some good and big houses in Britain, which had many rooms and corridors. The rich Britons lived in these big houses. When they had feasts in their houses, they sat round low tables. There were no forks or spoons. They cut big pieces of meat with their knives and took them in their hands. They drank from big cups made of silver.
