S12E07 Going Upmarket With The Romans - Standish, Gloucestershire
For many years, a field close to Standish in Gloucestershire has produced Roman brooches, mosaic tiles, and coins, suggesting the existence of a substantial villa nearby. However, its location remains elusive. With only three days to uncover the truth, Tony Robinson and his team delve into the area’s rich history, which shows evidence of human habitation from the Iron Age to the Roman era, yet the villa itself remains hidden. Piece by piece, the archaeologists uncover a remarkable narrative of generations from one family adapting to significant social changes and gradually enhancing their lives as Roman Britain flourished.
