Ebben az epizódban

The Roman Conquest of Britain.

The furthest western point of the empire.

How did life change for ordinary people after the invasion?

Why do Middle Eastern gods end up on Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England?

And how does the famous gorgon face carved into stone in Bath blend Celtic and Roman spiritual beliefs?

In Episode 2 of this series, William Dalrymple and Anita Anand are joined by Dr Eleanor Barraclough, author of Beyond the Walls: In Search of the Celts, to discuss how the arrival of the Romans altered the gods of these isles.
