Britain's Best Preserved Roman Fortress | Time Team (2020x91)

Air date: Aug 11, 2020

The Roman legionary fort of Caerleon in South Wales is one of the most famous and best preserved Roman sites in Britain. It stood on the edge of the Roman Empire, its huge amphitheatre, immense baths, and the scale of its ruined walls all testament to its power and importance. Tony and the team are joined by a group from Cardiff University to cast new light on a site once seen as solely a military outpost.
