Do you mean England or Great Britain?  Believe it or not they are not synonymous.

Britannia

You can see how it was divided in this map

yeah Kebabmeister's divisions - good map K - are late. I note the map is dated as at 400 AD

Have you been following time team - it all seemed to go pear shaped in twenty or thirty years.

Slightly off topic, but pre Saxonic/Roman Britain, when the island was basically one true celtic island, I think the welsh term for Britain was 'Prydan' I'm sure the Romans derived this term.
