Archeologists Re-examine Artifacts From Post-Roman Britain

Did the fall of the Roman Empire plunge Britain into a desolate, barbaric wasteland? In this documentary, archaeologists re-examine the evidence from Roman York, Hadrian's Wall, and Tintagel to uncover the surprising truth. Discover how post-Roman Britain maintained sophisticated trade routes with the Mediterranean, preserved high-level Latin literacy, and built thriving local power centers.
