		Roman Britain is the term applied to that part of Britain lying within the Roman Empire (which never extended to the whole island).

		In Britain, a governor's role was primarily military but numerous other tasks were also his responsibility such as maintaining diplomatic relations with local client kings, building roads, ensuring the public courier system functioned, supervising the civitates and acting as a judge in important legal cases.
