    Wonderful video, ladies. I love history: ancient, medieval, renaissance, and on and on. So, I must say that this video about the current exhibition of the Roman experience in Britain is absolutely the 'tops'. It's amazing that Britain has such strong ties, historically, to the ancient Roman empire, as our entire 'western culture' is founded upon ancient Greece and Rome. I wish I could fly from the US to 'Merry' 'ol London, right now, and see this before it ends (in June). But at least I had the good fortune to catch your beautiful video and thoroughly enjoyed it. May we always continue to learn the lessons of history both the pain and the glory so that we evolve into an ever greater understanding of the 'human spirit'. Again, thanks so much. (Atlanta, USA)

    I love you guys!! You are amazing archeology enthusiasts just like me. Roman Britain is my special interest. I have had to opportunity to visit many British Roman sights as well as dozens over Europe and North Africa. My husband and children resignedly (on their part) joined me on delighted (on my part) wandering over Roman sights and imagining how the people who built it lived. Cheers

    • @RomanFound
      @RomanFound  7 місяців тому

      Definitely!! I think we’re already starting to see influences, also the Roman Empire became a trend on social media last year, so it’s very much in the public consciousness at the moment! I’d expect to see that filtering through to interior and fashion trends.

    Hi, just to say what a really good exhibition and I was surprised with the amount of finds found in Suffolk, all in good condition, does not matter if you scratches, chips etc for something to survive that long in the ground, brilliant.
