The reign of Maxius Audrelius .
Once Audrelius had taken back what once was Arthurs from the barbarians that surrounded the kingdom he set about rebuilding infanstructure and town so that he could begin to rebuild the shattered Roman society that had been lost before Arthur in the time of Vortigern .These towns were defended by walls ,a necessity for a people who had to share their land with covetous and often murderous neighbors .For the most part none of the towns built by Audrelius were of a particularly great size .The biggest being Kent and London ,which had perhaps fifty thousand inhabitants by the end of his reign .
Also Audrelius put the army under his central command .No more would local military chiefs be able to oppose his authority .Nor would southern landowners be able to refuse to pay taxes and levies to the government .These reforms helped to boost the abilities and sized of the army .The armies makeup was also changed from being composed largely of mounted soldiers .To armed foot soldiers .They did not in the least resemble roman legionares ,as some modern films have shown .Nor did they resemble heavily armored knight of the late middle ages .But they were nonetheless a formidable force .And one that saw constant use in the north and west ,were large waves of Irish and Pictish settlers needed to be repulsed from British lands they had occupied during the recent civil war .By 647 this process of pushing back the barbarians was almost complete ,with just a few pockets of Picts managing to hold out against the British armies .
