BREAKING: Does new archeological evidence help point to a lost Roman battle fought by the 9th Legion? Have we uncovered new evidence of a Roman Siege of an iron age hill fort?
In this new exclusive documentary, Historian Tristan Hughes re-joins the hunt for the mysterious Ninth Legion.
Joining forces with Historian and Archaeologist Simon Elliot, Tristan sets off on a road trip to three key Roman sites, a roman marching camp, iron age hill fort and site of a third previously undiscovered Roman camp high up in the Derbyshire Dales.
Three sites that combined with incredible new artefacts could attest to a long lost ancient battle between Roman forces and Iron Age Briton's.
