Legacy: The Origins of Civilization Comments

Doug Welch commented on 24-May-2011 12:42 PM4 out of 5 stars
Great documentary on the Roman invasion, occupation and dominance of Britain. Bettany Hughes travels widely to a variety of Roman sites all over Britain, from widely known ones like Bath and Maiden Castle to places like a mine and long abandoned villas
and towns telling a story sometimes at odds with the accepted tale of woolly Celtic Britons being civilised and loving it. More stuff like this, please!
