  • 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.

    Neat how people label everyone else's religion 'Superstition', 'They believed animals and objects could keep them from harm... kind of like a "Saint"...'

      I agree, that's very condescending. The Welsh flag has a dragon, are all the Welsh superstitious?

      Archeologists will NEVER tell you that infanticide was a common practice throughout the Mediterranean
      during the Copper Age and into the Bronze Age all the way into the iron Age.
      The archeological proof can be found all around the Mediterranean where ancient religious temples once stood.
      Hundreds of thousands of stone coffins 1ft. by 2ft. litter these sites like garbage litters shanty towns where there is no garbage pickup... What archeologists will NOT tell you is that this temple complex copper-bronze-iron age had as a religious worship of their gods was the sacrifice of first born babies to their gods...
      Don't believe me? The entire basis of the Troy war by the Greeks was because Agamemnon; the King of all the kings of Greece invited all the other kings of Greece to his palace to witness the ritual sacrifice of his eldest daughter Helen to the gods... He was publicly humiliated when Paris of Troy kidnapped Helen; thus preventing the ritual murder of his daughter to be held. This outraged him so much he declared war on Troy and all the other kings of Greece joined in because they were also outraged at this disrespect to their gods...
      Don't believe me? On their way to Troy the Greek fleet was becalmed for two weeks with no wind. A soothsayer on the ship told Agamemnon if he sacrificed his youngest daughter; the winds would return; which he promptly did and the winds came back as predicted by the soothsayer...
      In other words: Ancient kings (not common folk) had no qualms about murdering their own children whenever they chose in order to please the gods, while common folk did not have this luxury of choosing when to kill their first born but were required to kill their first born babies to appease the gods.
      If this does not make you want to puke all over the worship of antiquity and the mindless worship of ancient civilizations; then you are a sick, demented filthy inhuman scumbag.

    Ancient romans absolutely 'rejected' babies if not wanted, or any suspicion of deformity.

    It puzzles me that we find bones, and have this driving need to find out who they were, how they lived, why they died. Using only the science we have now. So much emotion and pity, elation and heartbreak, trying to figure out why so much brutality and indifference to life.
    All the things we fight so hard to ignore, erase, or justify now.
    Don’t you dare define another’s sex by science, or judge another’s life choices. Religious practices should never be shamed or questioned, and we fight eachother for the right to control how and when we get to kill our unborn and viable babies. And the ones with disabilities that survive the attempted killing. It’s all the same thing isn’t it. Someday in the future, they will make videos of us, and question our life choices, our thinking, our belief systems.
