Wasn't Roman civilization good for early Britain as opposed to a bunch of barbaric blue faced berserkers?

I am reading a old book I bought at Amazon called the Last of the legions by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle about the Roman garrisons leaving Britain and a year after the place being over run by barbarians.

Roman Britain was prob very interesting and ordered. I think a real civil British gentleman of the past (a dying breed of man) would rather choose the Pax Romana and Cicero over drunk fighting savages pillaging a monastery and killing.

I love "Last of the Legions." It sits on my shelf and I'm probably ready for another reading as it's been a few years.

Mel seems to like anti-Empire films although I like his flicks.

The Celts were surprisingly civilized. They had medicine, arts and law. The Romans were the ultimate pillagers.
