No, it's not ours, therefore anything done to them would not be authentic, it would necessarily not be.

Reply to comment by B0ssc0 in ‘Dates add nothing to our culture’: Everywhen explores Indigenous deep history, challenging linear, colonial narratives by B0ssc0
That sounds closer to legend or even myth, rather than history. We have many other examples of this thinking in other cultures and wouldn't, we don't, consider it history. Is Heracles putting up Gibraltar history?

I have a recommendation for fiction that's set in 1890s England-- Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters. It follows heroine Nan Astley, who dreams of a glamorous life after meeting Kitty Butler, a popular male impersonator music hall star. Kitty happens to be gay, and Nan soon realizes she's also attracted to women. The pair become a double act both on and off the stage, until Kitty breaks it off for the safety of a traditional life and marriage. Broken-hearted, Nan - in her guise as a male impersonator - takes to the streets to survive and finds a niche in the Victorian sexual underworld.

There's no reason it couldn't be Roman rather than Romano-British. There was no sharp cut-off point for Romans in Britain, they were still constructing villas after 410.
