Yes, all the cultural enrichment that Rome did raping and burning their way through Anglo lands. They very first form of "cultural enrichment" from the continentals.
I assumed that the British built Britain, but apparently that would make me racist.
The Angles did not show up in Britain until after Rome pulled the legions back to Rome. And when the Angles and Saxon’s (and Jutes) showed up the Briton’s had been citizens of Rome for several generations.
I stand corrected.
That being said Rome did push for the Gauls to be more like the Romans. And when they started conducting trade and building cities and forming governments like Rome, The Romans then saw them as a greater threat, giving them an excuse to invade and conquer them. Despite the whole reason they started adopting traditions and ways of life similar to Rome was a peace agreement they signed with Rome.
