    What better to follow up a 2 and a half hours look at the Sea People? Yes an hour and a half look at Roman Britain incorporating years of footage I have taken all over the island. I am now broken. I'm gonna go crawl under a rock now and write the next investigation into Britain's Early Middle Ages. Oh also I got engaged the other day! Cheers all! If you enjoyed the vid don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and share as it helps the video to be seen and makes the effort worthwhile! Stay safe and catch you all soon.
    **The script was researched and written by Eric TenWolde- however some additions were made by myself, including the section on the Antonine Constitution developing into a disaster for the empire, and the Germanic influence in the Roman military by the latter 4th century. These views are my own **

      "History Time" is NOT TIMELINE. and nowhere near a National Geographic either ; The narrator's enunciations are quite good, but apparently the producers have merely recreated the "classroom." a real "History time' the old fashioned way, much like many of us had seen in our "classrooms" with a teacher and a few SLIDE STILLS . It's quite boring to view the same still six times throughout the "video" of the same branches of the same tree, narrated to be representing three differently wooded area . The very FEW actually "moving film pictures" are re-used continually (The water picture repeats as representing " The English Channel" over and over , and it appears a producer might have had a foot fetish ? The very few "moving" video action depicts ONLY the hooves the narrator is explaining. " The cow, then chariots"....A great opportunity to actually SHOW, depict a moving CHARIOT indicative of the times, is left omitted, while WE get to look a a bunch of cow and horse hooves ? (Even a STILL of the full chariot would have been nice; The "timing" wit the stills, (the sync) of the verbal descriptions is "off" too; Sloppily coordinated . When a battle is described, the whole concept of action is lost , but in TimeLine" videos, these come alive to the viewer, and each of the personalities , performed by their reenactments of them causes the viewer to easily be able to "remember "the individual, the "famous Emperor" much more effectively. Of course, this picture narrative is just fine for viewers who miss their old world history classes ?

    I was born in Rome and I came across this documentary by chance. I started watching it out of curiosity, I thought it was too long. As I watched it I was more and more interested until the end when I was greatly impressed. I can assure you that here in Italy few people know this part of history with the details with which it is told here. This documentary is awesome, excellent work! I hope that someone here in Italy translates the vocal part into Italian, so that it can also be brought to schools. I believe that no one should ever forget their roots. For those who read and are interested in Roman history, I would like to remind you that here in Italy, in addition to the Colosseum and the many other monuments left in Rome and in the rest of Italy (which still deserve a visit!), there is an entire almost intact Roman city , as it was buried by a volcanic eruption in 79AD. I'm talking about Pompeii, which is worth a visit once in a lifetime. Congratulations again from a Roman for the excellent work! I subscribed to your channel and will follow your documentaries with interest. Greetings and congratulations from Rome.

Much better, in fact, than many BBC documentaries that spread the information thin and pad things out with ambient music and lingering landscape shots, leaving the viewer with the feeling "that was an hour of my life wasted".

      I thought it was OK for an amateur attempt, and admittedly the subject is vast, but there were several instances where I thought that the points made needed further exploration and added explanation. Perhaps a good documentary on this subject should be done in digestible chunks about an hour in length each. Though I suppose people might get bored with that.

England means "land of the Angles" though and because the Angles (and Saxons too ofc) settled after the Roman era it would be a bit anachronistic to call it "Roman England". "Roman Britain" should be understood as "the Roman part of Britain". For the same reasons we don't speak of "Roman France" but of "Roman Gaul".

    It's gonna be tough but I'm gonna wait 3 more hours, I'm ordering a pizza, and having my buddy over for this one! Unlike Hollywood, I know I won't be disappointed with a History Time documentary. Same goes for all of Pete's channels, sub to them all, you can thank me later. This is gonna be a long wait...maybe I'll just watch the first 5 minutes.

      Good comment! I'm not British, and when a map pops up with 25 towns on it, I don't know where to look, trying to read all the names and place the action on the map. It's disorienting, and a little stress over the areas in question would be a big help to my comprehension.

      I'm remembering well-coordinated STILLS with my World History Teacher NARRATING too; This is very much the same;
      TIMELINE *The History Channel actually produces a "move-type" moving vide reenacts all of the characters being referred to in theirs, their battles and depicts their "clans of dwellers" much better;
      Well researched, perhaps; well narrated, yes; well produced it is not.
      "History Time" is NOT TIMELINE. and nowhere near a National Geographic either ; The narrator's enunciations are quite good, but apparently the producers have merely recreated the "classroom." a real "History time' the old fashioned way, much like many of us had seen in our "classrooms" with a teacher and a few SLIDE STILLS . It's quite boring to view the same still six times throughout the "video" of the same branches of the same tree, narrated to be representing three differently wooded area . The very FEW actually "moving film pictures" are re-used continually (The water picture repeats as representing " The English Channel" over and over , and it appears a producer might have had a foot fetish ? The very few "moving" video action depicts ONLY the hooves the narrator is explaining. " The cow, then chariots"....A great opportunity to actually SHOW, depict a moving CHARIOT indicative of the times, is left omitted, while WE get to look a a bunch of cow and horse hooves ? (Even a STILL of the full chariot would have been nice; The "timing" wit the stills, (the sync) of the verbal descriptions is "off" too; Sloppily coordinated . When a battle is described, the whole concept of action is lost , but in TimeLine" videos, these come alive to the viewer, and each of the personalities , performed by their reenactments of them causes the viewer to easily be able to "remember "the individual, the "famous Emperor" much more effectively. Of course, this picture narrative is just fine for viewers who miss their old world history classes ?

    This is by far the best of any documentary I’ve ever watched. Nothing gives me chills more than imagining Roman soldiers setting flame to a new type of world to absolve tribalism in place of United colonization and civilization, doing God’s work despite the aggressive means. Also imagining all the terror suffering the poor people of the tribes had endured. I tie this all the way to everyone uniting for the crusades all the way to America today and I am left in awe.

      To be fair, the Romans really wheat and romanticized farming.
      The Roman Statesman Cicero once said, "of all the occupations by which gain is secured, none is better than agriculture, none more profitable, none more delightful, none more becoming to a free man". Retiring soldiers often received land plots as their pension with the idea being that they would turn this land into a farm; the decline of this practice in the later Republic is what led to the Populares Party gaining the support of the military.

      It's what I would call "learned reliance," the states of the US have learned to rely on their federal government; whereas in the 19th century, each state operated relatively independantly. If the US federal government collasped, the states would be in disarray, many states would collapse themselves, not being able to put up with the needs of its people. Unchecked immagration, thats not willing to listen to the states they enter, but now federal police or military to keep them in check. if Rome was the federal government and collasped, and Germanic peoples moved in and took power. history repeats.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent documentary. Congratulations - Brilliant! You've re-energised my enthusiasm. It was Gildas who asserted that Joseph of Arimathea (which the Latin Vulgate Bible alludes being THE ROMAN MINISTER OF MINES) was the first to bring Christainity to the British Isles.~ Where would Rome be without metal?~ or trade? It's also interesting that it was during the Roman occupation of Britain, possibly after a visit to Stonehenge during the winter solstice, that 'Sol Invictus' - 'The Unconquered Sun' and Mithras worship became the prominent religion amongst Roman troops; although in 209 AD Roman soldier 'Saint Alban' ( Latin: Albanus) is venerated as the first-recorded British Christian martyr - long before Constantine. Thank you again - Wonderful!
