 | Britannia Inferior (Lower Britain) was one of the regions of Roman Britain created in the early third century AD by the Roman Emperor Septimus Severus. |
 | They were therefore outranked by the consular governors of Britannia Superior. |
 | During the early fourth century, the province was further sub-divided into Britannia Secunda in the north (with a capital at Eboracum) and Flavia Caesariensis in the south (with a capital at Lincoln, Lincolnshire). |

 | When Hadrian reached Britannia on his famous tour of the Roman provinces around 120, he directed an extensive defensive wall, known to posterity as Hadrian's Wall, to be built close to the line of the Stanegate frontier. |
 | Britannia was part of this until 274 when Aurelian reunited the empire. |
 | These four provinces were part of Diocletian's Tetrarchy reform in 293, Britannia became one of the four dioceses—governed by a vicarius—of the prætorian prefecture Galliae ('the Gauls', also comprising the provices of Gaul, Germania and Hispania), after the abolition of the imperial tetrarchs under the Western Emperor (in Rome itself, later Ravenna). |
