Not quite that far back in time. The capital was known as Venta Belgarum, or "Meeting-Place of the Belgae" in Roman times, and after the Romans left became Winchester. But that is the name of the capital, not the county. |

Rome was never the capital of England. Because England as a country didn't exist in Roman times. 897AD is the first time the use of England as a place, and 927 when it became a united place and could be considered as a country. Before then, the island of Great Britain (or parts of it) was Britannia Province of the Roman empire. If your trying to be clever... It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Nareed knows history very well. Even the word "country" didn't exist in the English language until the last 800 years. The older English word was kingdom. |
