History of Ancient Britain - Celtic Britain

Alternative title
History of Celtic Britain, A
Synopsis
TV historian and archaeologist Neil Oliver tells the story of Britain, before and during the Roman occupation. The 4-part series traces the development of Britain from 1000 BC to 400 AD. It shows how a thriving Iron Age Britain became part of the Roman Empire, heralding an era of luxury for some and harsh subjugation for many; it reveals how Celtic communities survived north of Hadrian’s Wall and around the fringes of the island and examines how a new Romano-British culture emerged from the bitter struggle for Britannia.
