Were Priceless Roman Mosaics Destroyed By A Railway Line? | Time Team | Odyssey 

I thought I'd seen all the Time Team episodes at least twice, but this is the second "new to me" episode I've seen in the past two weeks.

Shout out to the rabbits, the unsung heroes of this episode!😳

Every time I see these I try and picture the people who lived so long long long ago it’s so fascinating I just wish I was younger so I could really get into all of this not by just watching it I’m 65 so I think I’m a little too old to actually do it so I’ll just watch it 👍🏻

3:57 History Hit should consider changing 'It's like Netflix for History' to something else, as 'Netflix' is almost a pejorative to most of its potential costumers. I certainly regard 'Netflix' with a negative connotation, if not outright disdain.

I like Guy de la Bedoyere and his knowledge of the Romans. Took me awhile to get his name right and I love saying it because it just rolls off the tongue.

It's heartbreaking to know that such a piece of history was destroyed. I mean I get it but damn so sad.

This happened also in Sardinia, precisely in Porto Torres!

it must have been really cold out there. poor Phil is freezing.

Thanks for posting

I enjoy watching multiple times I always see something different or I perceive differently. Mick was a great piece maker..

I love your sense of British connection to history and English community. My ancestors were English. And being English we're a weird mix of Viking, Roman, angle, Norman, Saxon. We are English mutts one and all. (Angland - Anglish - get it?)

Fungus matters too! We should never ignore the shroom.🙃

Thank you.

I suspect Stewart will work it out while the rest of them prat about

Beautiful replica mosaic

I've just discovered your time team videos and I love them. ❓❓❓ Why do you limit your digs to 3 days ❓❓❓

That’s a really cool train it’s sleek looking 👍🏻

28:14 What's with the hard hats?

I would have counted fence posts 😂😂

These time team episodes are almost as old as the finds during the dig, only difference everyone has seen the episodes a lot more often.

One guess to whom the thieves were , I am sure you are right.

The shovels get tired of becoming spoons & toothbrushes....so the hammers lend a helping hand

Wow. What a great camp area. I don't think we'll be able to get our 21 foot off-road van down that track. However, I'd love to have a fish in that creek.❤❤.

Can you explain as to what the library is going to be used for?? Is it something the community will use??

Take the rover to the Smallest cog. I know they would do a great job.

17:32 Extremely attractive to live...If you can deal with the many thieves and robbers in the area trying to rid you of... oh... trailers full of vital equipment...

Tim Allen - Time Team or Tool Time?🤔

I love to think a bunch of local youths came around and tossed all the tools in the hedge just for a chuckle. Who else would do something like that? Im sure theyre pretty pleased to get a mention in episode. As for Phil keeping his shovel with him, sounds like hes gotten his tools stolen or lost before. Im betting stolen, if he can keep that same hat since presumably his birth then he can probably mind his tools.

Long term, you will have to make a way to get from one side of the convent to the other without having to drive through the hall. You had mentioned possibly craning over a wall. Can't you just remove the wall?

Oh, John just looks like a baby here.

Strokes and squiggles... means Welsh...not Roman.

Ever heard of SECURITY

So did they catch the 💩💩's that stole the trailer?

Who the hell would steal tools? Especially in a place as beautiful as that? I’d imagine growing up in that place is probably boring, but also beautiful. Not the kind of place I’d imagine thieves hanging out. When I think of thieves, I think of Manhattan and London and Paris. I don’t think of the countryside.

* Fact ! There is a Huge Beautiful Mosaic underneath Kingston Crown Court in Kingston upon Thames !!!

how dare they dumped the tools into a dig what awful silly buggers

Hvis romerne har været så tæt på Danmark, kan jeg forstå, at Vikingerne ikke skulle så langt, som vi måske regnede med. Men det er måske en misforståelse? Spændende er det.😮

Well makes you wonder, the egyptians did the same and history continues. Just use what is avalible to continue to growing civilization. They are gone and we need to continue to grow so history will continue to disappear and our generation will continue to make more history.

Some people with money on their mind’s probably saw this and thought that they already found something valuable and that’s why they threw everything around because they couldn’t find anything ‼️‼️ SUCKS TO BE THEM😂

LONDON/IVM should be always very proud that it was established by IMPERIVM ROMANVM - THE MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE, not just physically. Rome is a TESTIMONY to THE GREATEST EMPIRE THAT EVER EXISTED, from province of Hispania to province of Mesopotamia, from province of BRITANNIA to other ROMAN provinces of Aegyptus, Africa,Alpes Cottiae, Alpes Maritimae, Alpes Poenninae, Arabia Petraea, Armenia Inferior, Asia, Assyria, Bithynia, , Cappadocia, Cilicia, Commagene, Corduene, Corsica et Sardinia, Creta et Cyrenaica, Cyprus, Dacia, Dalmatia | Epirus | Galatia | Gallia Aquitania | Gallia Belgica | Gallia Lugdunensis | Gallia Narbonensis | Germania Inferior | Germania Superior | Hispania Baetica | Hispania Lusitania | Hispania Tarraconensis | Italia | Iudaea | Lycaonia | Lycia | Macedonia | Mauretania Caesariensis | Mauretania Tingitana | Moesia | Noricum | Numidia | Osroene | Pannonia | Pamphylia | Pisidia | Pontus | Raetia | Sicilia | Sophene | Syria | Thracia Brittania - an obsession of IMPERIVM ROMANVM and roman emperors , Rome was so obsessed with winning the access to Britannia, many did not understand why, it was lacking strategic location of Hispania or Gaul, yet Rome has waged a war after war to conquer her. Rome centre was the medditerranie which catapulted it to Superpower of antique world , Yet Brittania was like magnet for the Rome, so much so that they the Romans didnt know when to let go... Only they know why ...

Destroyed? Probably. To be fair, if you plant herbs in your garden in parts of England, you’ll turn up Roman archeology.

A typical Mick Aston 'Time Team' dig, plenty of planning and very little digging on day one, if they follow the usual script on Mick's digs the more that time progresses the way more digging and less planning there will be.

Why only 3 days? The rushing host skipping around like a blind rabbit is silly.

Lots of men talking over women on this show..

Time Team: time to add more women experts to your shows. When the few that do appear and are allowed a few seconds to comment they are often cut short. Questions are often not directed at them even when they are on screen. Archaeology is not by nature a boy's club - it has been created so. There are plenty of female archaeologists out there. Let's see more of them on your show.

i see the romans still liked there swastikas
