| "The
interior of Britain is inhabited by people who claim on the strength of
their own tradition to be indigenous to the island; the coastal districts
by immigrants from Belgic territory who came after plunder and to make
war…following their invasion they settled down there and began to till
the fields" (Caesar, Gallic War V, 12, mid 1st century BC) |

| The late Iron
Age (c.100 BC - 43 AD) was a period of great change within southern
Britain. It was characterised by visible transformations in agriculture,
coinage, settlement types and trade, reflecting an evolving socio-political
environment. Some of these changes were part of a wider term of development,
stretching back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. In Sussex, these changes can be seen in a number of different ways. To find out more about life in and around late Iron Age Sussex, click onto the following icons: |
