Ancient Britons opposing the [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) landings, illustration by Joseph Martin Kronheim, included in *Pictures of English History: From the Earliest Times to the Present Period*, plates I - IV, London, 1868.

This image is included in a Victorian English history book of illustrations intended for children. The scene depicted is relatively early in the book, as it showcases the 1st-century BCE Roman landings in the south of [England](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/england/) and the Britons who resisted them at the beaches.
