The North of England was at the very extremity of the Roman world. What sort of defences did the Romans have to guard their Empire? Time Team have travelled to Ribchester to investigate some of these very fortifications and to examine what life must have been like for these soldiers, so very far from home.

That moment at 24:49 where Phil looks up with just a trace of a gleeful smurk and says "what you going to do about it Adrian?..." " I think we'd better extend" was such a classic charming Phil moment. He really is one of a kind and I enjoy seeing him be so easy going and funny. I also love the close brotherly friendship that Phil, Mick and Tony have, its so honest and filled with genuine affection and respect. ...One more also, the owner of this property seems like a wonderful human, I am so glad he did this. I wonder if he is still in his house and if he has turned up anything else about his hometown. He had real curiosity and was super friendly and welcoming, most of the property owners are great but I really like this one he just sticks with me as a good person 😊

Cheers to the man who found something odd and rather than dismiss it, he called in the pros. Adding that little bit more to our understanding of human history.

in the UK, and most of Europe, you are required to report it if you find something that may be historical

@@larryzigler6812 ok, I’m especially thinking of Tony’s appearance, which was a pretty common style back then. Despite having had the same “phase” if you will, I don’t exactly look up old pictures showing how “cool” I dressed back then 😂 But, if you think that looks cool, I suppose I should say thank you for the redemption 😉

Speaking of building a fort by numbers, I read somewhere that the Normans sent across pre-fabricated forts and baileys - walls already built and nails included - to throw up in minimal time . A Flat-pack Fort, if you will.

@BulletHole Год назад

can anyone link me to somewhere that explains those address blocks? i think that is what i am seeing, at the top of the arch above the front door of some of these old timey stone buildings, they have some intricate key stone with numbers and letters... i assume its like an address of some sort... makes me think of how a bunch of the houses in the uk have like names.... i find that stuff really cool, but i dont really understand it, how did they get those names, is there only one house with that name?

I am assuming you are talking about the Roman numerals over the doors.

How many years ago for this episode?

@timmeah Год назад

From what google tells me, this is season 1, episode 2 which would set the release date to early 1994, and probably recorded mid-1993 (due to the season). So, 29 years old 🙂

@GairBear49 Год назад

@@timmeah The date at the end of the credits is 1994 in Roman Numerals, which confirms your release date.

@davidbodeker6752 Год назад

They bring the whole suite of resources to a site and hit it hard for a few days, making the sort of progress that a normal university-funded team would take months to make. Senior archaeologists, plant machinery, cutting-edge geo-physics, helicopter flights, historians, osteo-archaeologists, dendrochronologists, experts on ancient architecture, experts who can date coins and pottery at a glance, experimental archaeologists who smelt tin, blow glass, build kilns and nap flints. Very few projects could bring such resources to bear upon a site. These guys did it in a few days made a huge contribution to the field, and then started a new site the following week. And it made for great television. A winning formula.

@dalekundtz760 8 месяцев назад

I don't know about others, but I get tired of the amateur archeologist (Tony) trying to tell the professional archeologist (Mick) how things are. Tony thinks because he has a title (Sir Anthony) that others should bow to his thoughts and likings. I know he has a piece of parchment (is an educated man), but education is not only having book knowledge, but has practical knowledge from learned evidence that one gets from actually doing the field work that an archiologist does. There are many times on this program where I want to turn it off due to Tony and his snooty ways. I hate snobs! I love archeology and have since I was a teenager and got my feet wet at a site one summer out in New Mexico. This is a great program, but Tony blows it for me. Just MY OPINION.

@kersebleptes1317 4 месяца назад

You might like to look him up on Wikipedia. I'm not sure he fully lines up with your opinion of him. I'd just note that when this episode was made, he was nearly twenty years away from getting his "piece of parchment".
