影片内容介绍

剧情简介

This is it!! The end, or rather the beginning, of the "What the X" saga. This is where it all began - Adam's first foray, directly inspired by the Monty Python sequence from "The Quest for the Holy Grail", into how the foundations of modern society were laid by the surprising cultural and technological achievements of the Roman empires.

Butser Ancient Farm Described as 'an open air laboratory', this reconstructed Iron Age farm and settlement is an archaeological research project, investigating the ancient methods of Celtic farmers.

Housesteads Roman Fort

Britain's most intact Roman fort, all the more impressive for its clifftop location, built by Hadrian in the second century.

The remains of a Roman fortification dating back to their first century landing, as well as a museum of Roman life.

 Edge of Empire
