Discover the mystery of London’s first Roman road and the true birthplace of the city - could centuries of history be rewritten by new archaeological evidence?
Join the investigation as we retrace the steps of Roman legions, question long-held beliefs, and use cutting-edge technology to search for the lost Roman road beneath London. Archaeologists revisit a 60-year-old discovery, dig trenches at Lambeth Palace, analyze Roman pottery, and reconstruct the ancient landscape with 3D mapping and geophysical surveys. Learn why the Romans chose their river crossing points, how geography shaped the rise of Londinium, and what clues remain buried under modern London.
From exploring marshy banks and sandbars in the Thames to uncovering the significance of Stanegate and Thorny Island, this episode dives deep into the origins of London’s road network and settlement patterns. Will the team confirm the original crossing point, or will new findings challenge everything we thought we knew about Roman London? Perfect for history buffs, archaeology fans, and anyone fascinated by the hidden stories beneath our cities.
