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.

Christ I wish all history documentaries were formatted like this. No infuriatingly condescending exposition, no loud sound effects or nonsensical hyped-up character drama. Just an excellent voice actor reading excellently written history with a calm, ambient background. Fantastic bloody work; this is the standard for me now.

As a forever history lover, even once a history major at CSULA before switching to Business at CSUN [History would not pay nearly enough], I am estatic to find your incredible podcast. I listen/view your series when working-out my 82 year old body......and I know once all are heard/viewed, I will re-cycle & start again + telling everyone about your EXCELLENT series!!!

Visited London for the first time with my wife and two young sons. Took the tour to see Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath. Was amazed at the extent of Roman ruins in Bath and how they were covered over and lost in time. I appreciate your professionalism. The poetry was especially impactful.

"Despite their colorful pantheon of gods, the real religion of the romans was the religion of urbanism"
I feel like i learned a lot from that sentence

This series just proves that talent and passion is far more effective than having a huge budget or a professional production team
This is way better than anything I've seen on Netflix

Best history lesson I ever heard. Had my school classes been taught like this, I never would have dropped out.

This production is simply superb. Soooooo much better than anything on TV or on Amazon, Netflix, etc. No dramatic music crashing down, no ridiculous re-enactments, no superfluous flummery. Excellent writing, exceptional narration, beautiful cinematography, re-enactment shots which are thoughtful and rather elegantly presented. Just simply superb. I cannot wait to watch the others in the series. Thank you!

I am just discovering these podcasts. Came to this by watching the Sumerian episode, I am now starting from the beginning. I would recommend this to anyone.

"History doesn't repeat itself. Events are so complex that nothing happens the same way twice." Finally, an intelligent and nuanced discourse on a fascinating topic. Fantastic series.

I’m almost appalled that it’s taken me so very long to stumble across this superlative series of productions. Simply marvelous. Your work ought to serve as a template for other producers.

I'm 71 and a bit of a student of British history. This is fascinating and beautifully produced. Hoping for a lot more.

Tolkien drew heavily from old Anglo-Saxon legends about the 'work of giants'. If you look at Middle Earth, there are massive ruins of advanced civilizations everywhere, structures that nobody in the time of the stories could hope to build anymore. 'Orthanc' for example is an Old English word meaning 'cunning, skillful', and this word repeatedly shows up in Medieval texts in reference to the 'work of giants' (i.e. the Romans). He littered his works with these real-life references, being a professional medieval scholar in his day job.

This is a beautiful documentary series, thank you. The BBC is missing the boat by not funding your work.

If *you*, lucky Youtuber, have just stumbled upon this channel, and you're wondering if this is worth your time, then hear me as a ghost of the (recent) past… this series is *excellent*. Intelligent, informative, entertaining, it's perfectly pitched. The sort of thing the BBC did fifty years ago, with modern production values. Absolutely top-notch stuff.

Extraordinary sceries in a time when the History channel would prefer to cater to alien conspiracies and monster hunts.

So we Welsh people have a kind-of 2nd National Anthem - Y'ma O Hyd - 'Still Here'. It basically talks about outlasting all the Invaders, including the Romans and the English. The opening line :
You don't remember Macsen, ( Magnus Maximus )
Dwyt ti'm yn cofio Macsen,
Nobody knows it;
Does neb yn ei nabod o;
A thousand and six hundred years
Mae mil a chwe chant o flynyddoedd
Too long for memory;
Yn amser rhy hir i'r cof;
When Magnus Maximus left Wales
Pan aeth Magnus Maximus o Gymru
In the year three-hundred-eight-three,
Yn y flwyddyn tri-chant-wyth-tri,
And leaving is a whole nation
A'n gadael yn genedl gyfan
And today: behold!
A heddiw: wele ni!
We're still here,
Ry'n ni yma o hyd,
Despite everyone and everything,
Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth,

Dr. Rebecca Pinner reciting the poem "Ruin" in Old English is a magnificent work of performance art. This documentary is beautifully done. And the photography! Your drone footage flying over ancient ruins is spectacular!

The editing is also terrific with these episodes--as well as the exquisite lyrical tone throughout. How wonderful is the inclusion of poetry! Beautiful.

"That is history's spell. It teaches us lessons while convincing us those lessons don't apply to us." That is a brilliant line.
