From the Pharos Lighthouse on the White Cliffs at Dover, to the stunning miles of Hadrian's Wall along the Scottish border we will visit the astonishing world of Roman Britain in a series of slide shows. This vast network of ruins, buildings and museums is a treasured part of British history, yet is little known.
Why and how did the Romans conquer Britain? Why did the warrior Queen Boudicea burn London? How did Roman rule last for 400 years? What was everyday life like? Find out too, how it all ended and the legacies Rome left in Britain.
Be astonished at the marvels of ancient engineering in the glorious highways and beautiful cities of Roman Britain.
In summing up we will cover the latest finds, new museums and unusual stories that are part of the ongoing quest to discover and preserve Roman Britain.
