I have a really old photo of tynmouth abby and Castle on the northeast coast near Newcastle on in the photo at the edge of the cliff there is a sword standing as if in a stone but not visible. Another pic from a different angle shows there was a tomb mound with a small wall and stairs going down to an entrance. Supposedly 3 Kings of the bernician kingdom were buried there. But the tomb has been completely removed and there no sign of any sword. From the end of the pier on the face of the cliff are arches and strange red bricks only just visible in one tiny area as if the cliff was a wall once tynemouth is right over the river to south shields to the Romans the arbeia Fort which was the base for 3 emporors, one hadrian who built the wall and a Fort at Newcastle and also the first Tyne brigde with the only bridge outside of rome to be given a imperial seal so very important to Rome. There looking in the wrong place London wasn't the roman capital newcastle was

BRITANNIA and LONDON/LONDINIVM should be always proud that it was established by IMPERIVM ROMANVM - THE MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE, not just physically. Rome a TESTIMONY to THE GREATEST EMPIRE THAT EVER EXISTED, from province of Hispania to province of Mesopotamia, from province of BRITANNIA to other ROMAN provinces of Aegyptus, Africa, Alpes Cottiae, Alpes Maritimae, Alpes Poenninae, Arabia Petraea, Armenia Inferior, Asia, Assyria, Bithynia, , Cappadocia, Cilicia, Commagene, Corduene, Corsica et Sardinia, Creta et Cyrenaica, Cyprus, Dacia, Dalmatia Epirus Galatia Gallia Aquitania Gallia Belgica Gallia Lugdunensis Gallia Narbonensis Germania Inferior Germania Superior Hispania Baetica Hispania Lusitania Hispania Tarraconensis Italia Iudaea Lycaonia Lycia Macedonia Mauretania Caesariensis Mauretania Tingitana Moesia Noricum Numidia Osroene Pannonia Pamphylia Pisidia Pontus Raetia Sicilia Sophene Syria Thracia

I can't agree with the title. Did Rome bring us civilisation, medicine, education, roads, law and so-much more? In my humble opinion, they only brought us their own versions of these things. We had all these concepts, teachings and advancements in Britain long before that treacherous Roman ever showed his face here. Our traditions and laws were developed in our own way and in our own style over countless generations. In-fact our glorious, unmatched culture stretched back tens of thousands of years uninterrupted, long-before the arrival on one Gaius Julius Caesar and centuries before Rome was even founded. The Romans only ever brought us the cross of woe and centuries of brutal oppression, and our Brythonic ancestors would have flourished had the Romans not invaded us so brutally and then stayed for so long.

Last year I learnt that the FitzRandolph and Randoll men are a specific variant of R1b-U152 that originates in central Italy during the Roman Republic. This is especially significant because genealogically they are male-line descendants of the Breton Sovereign House and Alan Rufuss epitaph indicates descent from the Aurelii, specifically the Aurelii Cottae. Archaeologically, in early third century Carlisle, Aurelia Aureliana was the wife of Ulpius Apolinaris. A letter by Sidonius Apollinaris in the latter 5th century shows him to be a close friend and admirer of a man with the title Riothamus, High King of the Britons (or Bretons, almost certainly the same person as Ambrosius Aurelianus and therefore active in both Britain and Gaul.

too much simplistic (and nationalistic) reconstructions! All over the empire the Romans tended to respect the precedent religious and even political traditions, this has always been their political genius. They were very very tolerant with other peoples and traditions. Read the Gospels and look at how they respected and maintained the previous Jewish institutions! Look at the beautiful Fayuums mummies, where we can observe the encounter between Egyptian mummification techniques and Classical iconography. So encounter and contamination was the normal modus operandi of the Roman Empire, not an English specificity.

As for you,
because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Return to your fortress,
you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
I will bend Judah as I bend my bow and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons,
Zion,
against your sons,
Greece,
and make you like a warriors sword.
Zechariah 9: 11-13

His justification for all this is a story that a guy we exactly know was paid to write to please the Normans by giving them background lore, 600 years after the Romans left? Centuries after Christianity and chivalry had already affected culture? When you can clearly see Christian symbolism in the Arthurian story that he himself has just recited, he's going to claim all that as British?

Thx for making a chunk of faded history actually relevant, necessary and with Aurther representing CS Lewis' the Lion Aslan--the King of England's Camelot. Perhaps a touch of science to validate the modulating frequencies grounding the myths-& Celts mixing old and new in the floor mosaics, the Lion (Aslan) King Aurther becomes the victorious Christ separate from Rome as per St Augustine

Notice please that this is what time does to history; therefore one can expect videos two thousand years from now entitled, 'Why the European colonization of Africa was beneficial to both' and the like.
Of course no foreign invasion is beneficial to those invaded - it's the cynicism of distance speaking.

The Romans didn't conquer? I'm sure the Druids, their groves and all the tribal laws both they and the populous held would beg to differ on that. Boudicca too might have something to say about it. Let's not forget 3 generations of genocide on the Welsh (Romans doing this had to go running for Boudicca.

The British love to downplay the impact the Romans had on their country, and exaggerate the impact the Angles and Vikings had on their country. The fact remains the Romans were in Britain for 400 years, that's longer than the existence of the British Empire.

Where was it written that. Rome took out all vestiges of civilization? Is Francis making a strawman? But in support of this claim, what was the literacy rate of the UK after the roman occupation? The fact that we dont know should hint something shouldnt it?

In truth, he doesnt have a lot to do with this documentary, but as soon as it showed us those earthwork ramparts I kept thinking of Vespasian, truly a forgotten Roman general in Britain. If Caesar is the invader, Vespasian is the conqueror.

Arthur and his story is the product of a society who chose not to write things down. I think he existed and his story has been embellished so that it would become legend and people would remember it.

Homeboy was kinda disrespectful about British history, and its folk-mythos. Wish they wouldve picked a different person to walk us through this documentary. Someone with more respect I prefer.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I think for maybe 95% of people who didn't invite the romans in DID see it as an invasion, I imagine they were happy to trade goods with them but not to be conquered by them
