The Roman conquest of Wales began in AD 48 and took 30 years to complete. While Romanisation was far from complete, the upper classes of Wales began to consider themselves Roman, particularly after the ruling of 212. The Constitutio Antoniniana (also called the Edict of Caracalla or the Antonine Constitution) was an edict issued in 212, by the Roman Emperor Caracalla declaring that all free men in the Roman Empire were to be given theoretical Roman citizenship and that all free women in the Empire were to be given the same rights as Roman women.
