History Documentaries

In this episode of Digging for Britain, Dr Alice Roberts and the team uncover groundbreaking evidence that reshapes our understanding of Roman Britain. From a crumbling cliffside villa in Kent, possibly home to the commander of the Roman navy, to a strange burial of 97 infants, each discovery raises new questions about life under Roman rule. A newly revealed Roman town in Devon, an mysterious brothel-or-birthing-center debate, and unique armor fragments shed light on religion, military power, and cultural blending in ancient Britain. As erosion and time threaten to erase these stories forever, archaeologists race to preserve the past before it’s lost to the sea.
