To use the definition of the 'end of the iron' age as the Roman invasion of Britain, seems you are suddenly changing the criteria.
Rome is a culture/civilisation, not a technological age.
You can break things down in to as you say La tene, within a technological age....that makes sense.
But the use of iron encompases the roman civilsation. Rome was within the iron age, both before and after it invaded Britain, so I find it misleading to use that
as the criteria to say the end of the iron age was marked by this. Rome was the dominant of iron age cultures would be a more consistent
application of terminology.
