Roman Britain - The Work of Giants Crumbled

A vast ruined bath house, a fire-damaged poem and a world teetering on the brink of collapse.

In this episode, we look at the collapse of Roman Britain. Find out how a great civilization grew up almost overnight on the island of Britannia, how it endured the test of centuries against barbarian invasions and foolish rulers, and what happened after its final dramatic collapse.

Historian Paul M.M. Cooper examines the sudden arrival of advanced Roman civilization on the island of Great Britain in the first century BCE, how it endured for half a millennium against waves of barbarian invasions and its own inept rulers, and particularly what happened after its final dramatic collapse in the fifth century CE when Rome's mighty legions marched away, never to return.
