While in England and Wales, the Romans built some 70 Roman towns and infrastructural projects. They built many roads, aqueducts, bridges, sewers, public toilets, public baths, basilicas (public buildings), amphitheatres (arenas for gladiatorial games) and the like. They also promoted economic development. England and Wales became integrated with the economy of the empire and imported and imported goods from and across the Channel. The main exports were metals from the mines of Cornwall and Wales and ceramics. The main imports were amphorae and olive oil.

They introduced many vegetables (asparagus, cabbages, carrots, celery, garlic, leeks, onions, peas, radishes, turnips, shallots) herbs (bay, basil, rosemary, thyme and savoury mint and herbs that were used in brewing and for medicinal purposes). They also introduced new and more productive grains which made bread became important in the British diet. They brought white cattle, brown hare, chickens, guinea fowl, pheasants, and rabbits were probably introduced as farmyard animals. The fruit they introduced included apples (as opposed to crab apples), grapes, cherries, mulberries and Pears. They also brought walnuts and sweet chestnuts.
The Romans stationed four legions in Britain: the Legio IX Hispana (which disappeared from the records in the 120s) and the Legio VI Victrix in York, the Legio XX Valeriana Victrix in Chester and the Legio II Augusta in Caerleon (Wales). They built Hadrian's Wall to protect the border in the north of England from the raids by the Picts of Scotland. It was 117 km (73 miles) long and went from coast to coast from Wallsend (just north of Newcastle) to the shore of the Solway Firth.
