Caerleon Roman Legion Fort In Wales | Time Team

Phil Rules

If you do get down to Caerleon, you'll only be around 50 miles from Chedworth and Great Witcombe Roman villas, and 40 miles to Bath. You really don't want to miss those if you visit southern UK. I suppose those are some of the sites you were referring to?

@@MrVvulf I was definitely going to Portchester Roman Fort (Portus Adurni), to Bath, to Fishbourne Palace and to Chedworth. If I had time, I wanted to go to Lydney Park and to look at the city walls at Caerwent. There's still a lot for me to see from this era, although I did see most of the major forts along Hadrian's Wall during my last trip and Roman Corbridge.

@@julianhermanubis6800 Sounds like a great trip. Now you just have to choose which season.

@@MrVvulf Until the quarantine or self-isolation periods are lifted for travellers in both the U.S. and the U.K., I probably won't be able to go. I think England and Wales have different rules as to quarantine restrictions, which would complicate matters further. I believe for England there's a 10-day self-isolation period still in effect for travelers from America. Then, I think there's still a 14-day quarantine once I'm back in the U.S. of A. I'd spend three weeks in quarantine. )-: So, right now, it's looking like fall of 2021 or spring of 2022.

@@julianhermanubis6800 Certainly. I just meant once the pestilence and restrictions have passed. Hopefully we'll reach a time when herd immunity can kick in, but with all the anti-vaxxers, that's a big question mark.

@@athhar3643 I thought I'd seen this long ago and far away...

Athhar3 so that‘s season 19?

Athhar3 thx!

I use an ad blocker.

Slide the red dot to the end Tap replay Shhhhhhh

@@David-wk6md That doesn't work I'm afraid, at least with any episodes loaded within the past year? Not sure if it's a change in how they're uploaded or how YT inserts advertising, but I can confirm from trying it on multiple TT episodes that sadly it isn't effective...

... or whenever Phil mentions a pint, pub or any sort of brew

@@annika_panicka any time Geo Phys makes a mistake...

@@OldPuebloJay Lol-they say "I don't know" for at least 25 minutes before finally admitting to making a mistake, so it's not a game if you want to get drunk

They had Ruth on an episode (possibly more than one, but I'm new-ish to this series) and possibly her hubby, and I think Professor Hutton may have been brought on to weird everyone out (Lol-in a delightful way)

@@annika_panicka Ohh I have to look for those!

Most likely it was bezel set and fell out.

SharpLight thank you

Brisdad53 do u know where in Santa Clarita??

If a channel has at least 1,000 subscribers than they do earn money off those ads. I know they are annoying but at least some of the revenue goes to Time Team.

For some of the episodes they link to a follow up interview with a team member filmed last year. Some of them have the link to the report produced by Wessex Archaeology.

Who's the model? I don't remember her from past episodes.

@@JonFrumTheFirst Archeologist Mary-Ann Ochota. She appears on quite a few episodes of Time Team. Not sure if it was for a season, or periodically

There's a Search bar 🔍 somewhere on the screen (it's at the top on the RU-vid website and in the app) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tCSHK1GX4RM.html

Dream on. He's just an old hippy.

You will be waiting a long time i feel

His hair is still like that... bit more gray, but pretty much unchanged.

bigDbigDbigD you’ll grow long white whiskers yourself before that happens!

This is what I found on IMDb for the year this aired (2012): Paul Greedus-composer: original theme music/original theme music (227 episodes, 1996-2013). For the name of the piece, you would have to sign up for IMDb Premium, or maybe search the Time Team website or that of the production company behind it (or producers involved), or possibly where it originally aired (Channel 4 UK). Or _somewhere_ on the web. I played it into SoundHound, but that seldom works with original incidental music on documentaries. I'm not interested enough to look any further, but I've done it for various other documentaries and it is tedious, but possible. (A free trial to IMDb Premium got me the info I wanted after I spent far too long mucking around on various other sites. I think it was on the composer's own website, but the composer's name was not easy to find for that particular show.)

@@annika_panicka Many, many thanks for this information! Steve

@@wsclulin You're welcome. Good luck finding the specific piece ...

Yes, of course it could. It cold also be something completely different.

I'm finding that i don't care for her. She's not attractive enough to offset her lack of charisma, IMHO.

There's also those other two unnamed women who were in Phil's trench.

I don't.

You poor thing,@@jeanpeuplu5570

Were you there in the winter?

Lol-he looks pretty pleased. Then again, he's almost always smiling.

In Greek thought, yes-ish (specifically revenge against humans who angered the gods with their hubris), but in Roman thought her relationship to Fortuna seems to be complex and change over time.

Barbie & Ken ?? I mean, it's harsh ^^

And Chris Haines of the Ermine Street Guard, occasional appearances from Season 1 to Season 19.

@Brisdad53 She came on board thinking she was going to do serious archaeological presenting like she had done before, once she realized they had dumbed it all down and it made her look like a bimbo she left as soon as her contract was up. Mick had made the decision to leave months before her or Alex were brought on, he saw they were dumbing it down and didn't want to be associated with it if they continued to do that, the only issue he had with Alex and Mary-Ann was that they were chosen over his own picks for replacements, he had nothing against either of them personally. No, the demise if the show was channel 4 dumbing it down and veering away from what made the show great, digging and discovery, not play acting with a bit of archaeology thrown in. Alex and Mary-Ann weren't the first people to be brought on as replacements for people leaving for one reason or another, the timing just sucks for them because now everyone sees the show declined about the time they came on board and connect dots that shouldn't be connected.

You know that Raksha has an archaeology degree and at that time was a field archeologicalist?

She was just a talking head brought in to (probably) try and attract a different demographic. She really added nothing to the show.

@Celto Loco This is a late episode from 2012, If you watch early episodes (dating evidence Tonys hair) he actually said Geophysics but in this episode the Term is already over a decade old

As an American, they ARE showing history that we've never seen on this side of the pond. We weren't taught any British history except as it pertained to our own wars. The Dissolution, Roman Occupation, Medieval Era, and general lifestyle of any kind...nothing. I learned a lot from traveling in Britain, but could had benefited more had this show been on the air before I went. I blew right past places like Hadrian's Wall without any appreciation or basic knowledge.

Yet Robin Bush was in the early episodes and he made awesome contributions.

You do realize that Guy is not only a well regarded Romano-British historian who is widely published, but that he has been featured pretty regularly on Time Team since it started. Also that 10% figure is the the death rate per each fight and gladiators would have certainly fought more than once. If the rate of death is one in ten and you fought a minimum of five fights, then that figure becomes 50% and the actual likelihood that a gladiator would eventually die in combat becomes quite high. Mary Beard calculated that only about 25% of gladiators lived past their tenth fight, meaning that the majority of gladiators would have died in gladiatorial combat.

@@kathleenkilmartin5494 I respect both of them as academics and their expertise, but all the same I've also read from other academics good arguments as to why few gladiatorial combats would normally end in death except for special big occasions. Arenas of all sizes featuring gladiators could be found throughout the empire, and if all of them had been deadly gladiators would have been too short-lived to be a viable business for anyone. Companies with a limited amount of gladiators would tour around or be permanently set up locally at some place. It took time to train a gladiator. Longer than it would for them to have 25 rounds in an arena. It simply wouldn't pay for anyone as a business (and gladiators were a business) if they died so often. There is even some hints that deaths were sometimes faked in smaller more provincial arenas to satisfy the audience but at the same time not sacrifice the life of the actual gladiator. So perhaps our ideas of how often gladiatorial combat ended in death is exaggerated. It is hard because most of what we have descriptions of are the more spectacular bigger occasions that were likely to end in death, not the local weekend fare.

Helen is so underrated. Smart and cute

Interestingly, the Ermine Street Guard also featured in Time Team's first re-enactment 16 years previously, in Series 1 Episode 2.

Take a look at this episode from 1994 - it's even the same Centurion Bloke ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7uGM0aVQHTw.html

@Brisdad53 LMFAO! That is quite some comment.

Why would Italians be more interested in Romano-British history, culture and archaeology? Should they also be more interested in Romano-Hispanic history, culture and archaeology? And Romano-Celtic? And Romano-Germanic? And Romano-Greek? And Romano-Judaic? And Romano-Egyptian? And Romano-Moroccan? Etc, etc, etc... Britain was just one of many provinces of the Roman Empire... The problem probably isn't a lack of interest but a lack of enough archaeologists to cover the entire Roman Empire, especially since there is still plenty to find and research in and around Italy itself...

@@Kholdaimon I would think they might be interested in it all, but this program is about the Roman invasion and occupation of what is now Great Britain, and there's not shortage of archaeologists-it's funding that is limited. But the British seem to be doing a pretty good job. And the evidence of the British colonization of the world is closer to the surface even as their empire crumbles.
