    Paul, for 50 years I've been what you'd refer to as a history buff, and in all that time I've not seen another able to resurrect the past like you can. You and your crew are second to none, we'll done!

    I have developed a habit of falling asleep to history documentaries. This one was suggested to me and while it completely fits the bill, I find myself fighting sleep to listen to the end! Great job and perfect voice.

    I forget how I used to go to sleep without this series. Other videos blare music/war sound effects at random intervals and it just doesn’t work like this. Not to mention the quality of the storytelling is amazing.

    I live in a village named Old Kilpatrick in the Clyde Valley in central Scotland, The Antonine Wall Starts here on the River Clyde and ends on the river Forth on the east coast of Scotland, I often walk the dog with my children a mile or 2 into the Kilpatrick hills following the wall along its course, you can still find the ruins of stone forts constructed into the wall itself. The Antonine Wall gets little acknowledgement in comparison with the better known Hadrian's Wall which is a real shame because it is still here for all to see! Btw awesome content....a new fan!

      Gosh it must be amazing to live so close to historical places. The only thing I grew up close to is the battle of Mansfield (American Civil War).
      I want to see my family's homeland someday. My grandfather was born I'm Scotland and lived in Ireland from 10 years old. My dad said he had a mixture of both accents. He married a native American woman in the 1920s and had 6 kids. I grew up around our small Cherokee tribe but never knew much about my grandfather's Scottish side.

      Their mistake is that they did not assimilate the occupied countries enough. They should have taught them to speak Latin. The different languages spoken are what creates the largest barrier of communication and trust between different countries. There would not have been a strong basis to divide their territory into smaller countries as it is now. Their empire lasted long enough for them to have done this. And then they probably would have conquered even more of Europe, and we would have no need for something like the EU now to bring people together.

    I really think there was a big difference depending on geographic location.
    Whilst the SE London etc would have seen civic and economic collapse, in the SW The picture would have been different.
    Here there was more continuity, the Romano Brits survived, the trading with Europe continued.
    The SW was always a bit of a frontier, dominated by mining, the trade routes running from the Bristol channel around to the south coast and across to Brittany.
    These routes pre dated the Roman invasion and continued after the Roman departure.
    Metal from Wales,the Forrest of Dean, lead from Mendips, tin from Cornwall were all prized commodities to be traded.
    Tintagel ware from 5th,,6th century and latter with evidence of products from as far as the eastern Mediterranean attest to this trade.
    This is probably why the British were not completely replaced by the AngloSaxon culture but managed to hang on in Wales and the SW, for the AngloSaxons Mercia was the frontier, Cornwall remained independant until conquered quite late by Wessex
    Wales remained independant until long after the English were conquered themselves by a bunch of Franco/Norse mercenary robber barons in 1066.

    "Like the rerun of a movie we had seen before"
    TS Eliot wrote how he was surprised no one had warned him how much grief felt so similar to fear when his nan died.
    And that despondency those emotions tend to engender reinforces the sensation of history superimposing. Wilde wrote that it is the spectator of the life not the life itself that art truly reflects.
    I like to think of history the same way. The narrative is never free from the voice telling it, even if it is all happening in one's own head.

    Just like how some of the people back then thought the Briton wasn't real, people now a days think that Australia isn't real.
    People have truly been the same since the start of man kind.

    Nicely narrated, although perhaps a bit melodramatic. Also informative. It reminded me of apocalyptic novels like Day of the Triffids and The Death of Grass, as well as the Ozymandias poem. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

    I always found that poem extremely evocative and it makes the hairs in the back if my neck stand on end,also its an enigma..Ive always wanted to know the rest of it.

    Fascinating. Excellent job. Britain's state following the end of Roman rule has always captured my imagination. There are so many illustrations of what Romano-British cities and villa's looked like in their heyday but nearly none showing them in their slow decay. The same can be said for Hadrian's wall. Really enjoyed this. Two inaccuracies I noticed: Septimius Severus didn't abandon the Scottish campaign "and return to Rome." Rather, he actually died in York. It was his son Caracalla who decided to call it a day and return to Rome. Lastly, it would be incorrect to say that the Roman's manufactured "leather for stirrups" since they were never used (in the Western Empire, at least).
