A history of ancient britain [videorecording - DVD] : series 1

In the second part of his fascinating series, TV historian and archaeologist Neil Oliver (Coast and A History of Scotland) tells the story of Britain, before and during the Roman occupation. The series traces the development of Britain from 1000 BC to 400 AD. It shows how a thriving Iron Age Britain became part of the Roman Empire, heralding an era of luxury for some and harsh subjugation for many. It reveals how Celtic communities survived north of Hadrian’s Wall and around the fringes of the island and examines how a new Romano-British culture emerged from the bitter struggle for Britannia.
