Roman Excavation Reveals Secrets About Ancient Life

In this episode of Digging for Britain, archaeologists uncover remarkable Roman history across the UK.

From Hadrian's Wall to Vindolanda Fort, they explore ancient military roads, forts, and a well-preserved Roman village.


Notable finds include a rare glass bead, a Roman soldier's helmet, and a silver coin dating back to 222 AD. At Uden Villa, a grim discovery of 97 infant burials suggests a dark past, possibly linked to a brothel.


The episode also explores the construction of a new highway, offering a final glimpse at Iron Age settlements before they are covered forever.
