Graduated in History and I've been following Vindolandia find ever since the first publication of the find. This video steals the thunder from the big media; a wonderful visual presentation. "Tea?" I'll accept that as poetic license.
What a wonderful excavation! All the hours of work and the historical reconstruction over the decades by the archaelogists looks most impressive! I think, the video presenter was precise and thorough, so l should be visiting the historical garrison myself in the near future.🤓👍
Thank you for this superb documentary. Vindolanda is one of my favourite sites and i have been there many times. Love the enthusiasm by all who have taken part in this and the reward must be appreciation for all your dedicated work.
Interesting, indeed. Overall, quite similar to the ruins of the civitas CONIMBRIGA, COIMBRA, PORTUGAL Try to access it via TH-cam. It deserves also a visit.
@@mercianthane2503 interesting. So its Brythonic celtic. There was definitely interplay between celts and norse/vikings. Intersting that u brought up Fionlann which i hadnt heard of but i have heard of the fen (which is similar to fern and fearn) describing the marshlands.
@@julsius The thing here is that the name predates the viking age by a lot, like 700 years, and there is no continuity here. Sure there were some interplay between britons and norse, but Vinland and Vindolanda are not etymologycally the same thing. However, fen and fionn are also not of the same origin. Fen comes from PG: fanja, and just means swamp. yes.
That “archeologists” just said Roman Britons would’ve had “tea” after going out on missions. Tea. And exactly where & how did these 1st century Europeans get this tea?! Lemme guess! The just popped into the nearest supermarket & picked up some tea & toilet paper smdh
They also had wine and olive oil. Did that surprise you too? They built concrete forts and 73 mile walls with garrisons. They owned Egypt and as Far East as Turkey. They can’t have tea? These were advanced people’s. Get off your high horse.
I'm glad she didn't feel obliged to impose a "personality" on us, like TV presenters have to do. I wanted to hear what she had to say about Vindolanda, with no Tony Robinson-style cavorting.

It's what we call our evening meal in the North East! We're not talking about the leafy drink!

Great video....but most of the video was looking at the narrator...you could have shown us so much more...
tommy douglass was the chief of the brigantee;s up north near the wall
is there a relation between Vindolanda and Vinlandia/Vinland (Norse)? Is it possible this was Norse until the Romans tookover?
No, it comes from ancient brythonic *vindo* (white) and *landa* (enclosure), and gives to a hypothetical Gwynlan (welsh) and Fionnlann (Irish).

She did mention Roman's brought Syrian archers, say they may have tea.
Go big or go home.
I assume you are not from England? Tea up north it what they say for dinner or supper and is not related to the drink!

The presenter of this show is absolutely shocking. No personality at all.

She's a flipping archeologist, not the obvious life of the party like you.
