Exeter's Historic Quayside

In the 2nd century the Romans built a sturdy wall around Exeter, which lasted for centuries. However in the 4th century Roman civilization began to decline. The populations of the towns fell. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD and the Roman way of life slowly disappeared. People drifted away from the towns to the countryside and returned to a simpler way of life.
