What the Romans did for us - Building Britain



Please feel free to upload yourselves video-clips related to class units!

Labels:

Roman Britain

discussed on BBC Radio 4

Listen to the discussion here

With Greg Woolf, Professor of Ancient History at St Andrews University; Mary Beard, Reader in Classics at Cambridge University; Catharine Edwards, Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at Birkbeck College, London University.

Thanks Annabel for passing on this link!
