History from Buildings
2 total works
For nearly four centuries, the Romans ruled Britain. In a land of hill forts, farms and muddy tracks, they built great cities, ruler-straight roads, bath-houses and luxurious villas. Learn all about life in Roman Britain, from their banquets to their gladiator shows, their togas to their temples, and much more.
Much of the evidence we have of past times comes from the buildings people left behind. Their homes, villages and towns give us clues that help us find out about the way they lived. History On Your Doorstep explores different periods of British history through our building heritage.
