Did the Romans set up their base in kent?

Yes, the Romans established a base in Kent, particularly at the site of modern-day Canterbury, which became an important town known as Durovernum Cantiacorum. Kent was one of the first regions in Britain to be invaded by the Romans in AD 43, and they set up military installations and settlements to control the area and facilitate further expansion into Britain. The strategic location of Kent, with its proximity to continental Europe, made it a key entry point for Roman forces.
