Roman Britain

43 to around 410 AD, when Britain (though not Ireland) was a Roman province. Roman-British folklore often blends native and imported deities and features specific historical figures, roads, walls and forts as the setting for later legend — Hadrian's Wall and sites along Roman roads being especially rich in accumulated story.
