The Welsh tribes fared very badly under Rome, however, and aside from the Silures, who had their civitas capital at Caerwent, joined perhaps by the Demetae who were possibly represented by the vicus at Carmarthen, the majority of Wales seems to have been under military rule.
The military provinces were governed by young(ish), martially-minded men with praetorian status; Britannia Prima had two legions, the Second Augusta at Caerleon and the Twentieth at Chester, and Britannia Secunda one legion, the Sixth housed at York.

 People of Roman Britain
Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus succeeded Decianus Catus as procurator provinciae Britanniae in 61.
Tiberius Claudius Paulinus was governor of Britannia Inferior in 220, recorded on an inscription from High Rochester and approximately fixed by the supposed dates of his predecessor Modius Julius and successor Marius Valerianus, governor in 221.
This allows his governorship, presumably of Britannia Inferior, to be fixed in that period and the restoration of the titles of Postumus (259-68) to the rest of the inscription including the unit's name.

 Notitia Dignitatum
For Britain, the Notitia lists several military commands (the dux Britanniarum, the comes litoris Saxonici per Britannias and the comes Britanniarum), the governors of the five British provinces and the staff of the vicarius in London.

The map (right) shows one 'city' called 'Britannia', thereby probably showing that the command of the Comes stretched across the whole diocese.

Cassius Dion in his Life of Nero places it close to Britannia {1608/1612I has instead{Inghilterra}1608/1612I instead}, so close, that he has Agricola's auxiliary troops swim from the continent to it through the sea, as Tacitus notes in his life of Agricola.
He says that there is something remarkable about the islands which are situated between Britannia {1608/1612I has instead{Inghilterra}1608/1612I instead} and [the rest of] Europe, because it seems that when the area lying in between dries up, they seem to be part of the main land.

At the same time we need to bear in mind that we cannot understand developments within our region without reference to other parts of Wales, the neighbouring English Counties and, of course, Britannia as a whole.
  For example, by the third century there were far-reaching changes in the system of taxation; new social hierarchies were emerging out of earlier systems; military frameworks too were being altered, and both military and political structures had been fundamentally changed by the time that Wales formed part of Britannia Prima in the fourth century.
My brief is to firstly, outline what the Resource Audit for our region informs us about the region within the context of a SWOT analysis based upon some traditional categories of site and artefact, falling within the compass of the broad themes of Invasion and Military Occupation, Romanization/Acculturation and Exploitation.
