The [[Romanization (cultural)|Romanisation]] of this region partly included in the ''[[Gallia Celtica]]'' and in the ''[[Gallia Belgica]]'' (the Seine being more or less the limit between them) was achieved by the usual methods: [[Roman roads]] and a policy of urbanisation. [[Classicist]]s mention many [[Gallo-Roman]] [[villa]]s  and archeology found their traces in the past 30 years. In the [[Late Roman Empire]] a new province was created and called ''[[Gallia Lugdunensis|Lugdunensis Secunda]]'', it sketched the later [[Archbishopric of Rouen|ecclesiastical province of Rouen]], with the ''Metropolis civitas Rotomagensium''
([[Rouen]]), ''Civitas Baiocassium'' (''Augustodorum'', Bayeux), ''Civitas Abrincatum'' (''Ingena'', Avranches), ''Civitas Ebroicorum'' (''Mediolanum'', Évreux), ''Civitas Saiorum'' (Sées), ''Civitas Lexoviorum'' (''Noviomagus'', Lisieux / Lieuvin) and ''Civitas Constantia'' (Coutances).<ref>René Herval, "Les origines chrétiennes de la Seconde Lyonnaise (Normandie actuelle)" in ''Études Normandes'', 1963, n° 163,  p. 1–11 (online reading in French) [https://www.persee.fr/doc/etnor_0014-2158_1963_num_49_163_3197] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220331220422/https://www.persee.fr/doc/etnor_0014-2158_1963_num_49_163_3197|date=31 March 2022}}</ref>
