I don't know who I am, I don’t know why I'm here, All I know is that I must watch every Time Team episode ever made.

As an Italian, I did not expect that there would be such beautiful Roman remains in Wales. Absolutely magnificent.

I liked how Tony called Phil "The Centurion of the trenches ". A well deserved nickname in my opinion.

Always thought Phil Harding was there for comic relief, but the more of these I watch the more I realise what an incredible archaeologist he is. A true master.

I loved the British Isles and I love archeology, so Time Team is a natural for me. I don’t think now that I will be able to visit the UK in this lifetime (I am holding out hope for the next one), but these shows and other BBC and ITV productions let me visit. I love seeing the green grass and shrubs and trees. I love the blue, blue sky; the beautiful clouds; and, yes, even the pouring rain. Thank you Time Team.

I lived in England for nearly 9 years and Time Team is one of things I miss the most. Grateful to catch up on episodes I never got to enjoy.

I wish we had a TV program like this one in the USA. There are so many archeology sites that could be excavated here. I absolutely love this show.

I've actually been to this site. It is amazing and you can walk through much of the areas they are shown working. It was a whole day between the museum and excavated for area. Wonderful part of my trip.

I've been watching Time Team for several years now. Phil, Matt & Raksha are fantastic!! I hope they are in Time Team 2022!! 🤗🤗

IMHO, Tony is the best historical documentarian of my lifetime and the time team is brilliant. The teams dynamics are fantastic and while Steve Irwin was the best wildlife documentarian in my lifetime, the historical category easily goes to Tony.

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to ancient rome, they were amazing

Many people dont appreciate history. This needs more views. Millions more actually. Not only its educating but there are a lot of things to learn from history. Though I find some viral videos entertaining, I don't learn anything from it. Just amusing. I used to dislike history like a bad vegetable. As I got older, I now actually like what my history teacher taught me back in MS and HS. Thanks Ms. Montgomery!

I would hope that eventually, the whole area can be dug up and made so that people can visit and see the entire site.

Imagine having dinner with Phil. "Thish fish ish sho shalty. I'm drinkin' it doon wish a swish of whishkey."

Fantastic, those images and 3d models plus highlights make this episode a great presentation!

An American goes into bar in Scotland and sees two heavy set ladies. He approaches and asks, are you two ladies from Scotland? They reply, Wales, it’s Wales. So he says okay Are you two Wales from Scotland?

Thanks for putting it on. U.S.A. loves you all...

love it how Matt & Raksha partied with the university students at night!

Absolutely fascinating, can only imagine what it was like ...

That building in the courtyard seems most likely to me to be a high-security site for storing valuable cargo or other theft-prone items like soldiers’ wages and anything else needing guarding, perhaps even some food supplies. The courtyard would be in open view of soldiers by day, possibly boosted with guard dogs or geese to raise an intrusion alarm at night. It would be protected on all sides and from tunneling below. With sturdy construction and organized guard rotations, it would be next to impenetrable. Given the strategic site and isolation of the fort and the uncertain times in which it existed, security would be at a premium.

the mystery building reminds me of a provincial version of the warehouses at Ostia Antica near Rome

History is extremely fascinating 👏

16:19 Mat is a Hippie at Heart with his Vee Dub 👍🏻

It strikes me the excavators are overlooking the obvious. What do you have when you build commercial docks? Warehouses. I believe that barges would unload and goods be tied up or stacked in temporary storage in the 'cubicles' around the dirt courtyard. Buyers would come and negotiate purchases and payments be made under the watchful eye of officialdom, at least security from soldiers but possibly banking operations as well. The wooden structure that Phil's been excavating would be the 'block house' for the guards and possibly tax man to collect their lb of flesh (not literally). A large military establishment like this would be a huge opportunity for local agricultural products. An army marches on it's stomach but they don't grow much, if anything. They buy it from local suppliers, in this case probably delivered by barge from long distances away. The docks would have been a very high traffic area with produce and meat on the hoof being delivered daily. This place would have been as busy as a Wall2wallMart (ASDA?).

I can see now what Mick meant when he said they stopped focusing solely on archaeology. That legionary part of this show had nothing to do with the dig at all, yes it's a Roman dig, but time team was supposed to be about the site & re-creating it.

Nobody I mean NOBODY ever brings me a bacon sandwich in the morning when I camp out!

8:58 Archeological seems awesome!

I just can't get enough of Time Team! LOVE it!

So amazing.... I want to be apart of an archeological dig so bad!!!

Roman chain mail.. what a find!

Phil is a boss, knows his archeology to boot and is very professional in spite of looking a little bit like a hobo xD

That ring find is AMAZING

Mr. Langlands!!! That was a nice surprise to the video.

Sure does not have the same old crew missing Nick😢

I would love to be involved with something like this!

I live in the U.S. and was all set to visit Caerleon when COVID hit in 2020 and my trip wound up being cancelled. I really am wanting to get there as soon as I can.

Mary Ann Ochota, aka Mick's Bane.

I enjoy watching time team videos

I think the complex was a warehouse - if they were sending materials on to other forts, it stands to reason they'd have to safely store large quantities for periods of time, and the main complex didn't do that.

Peter in the Roman uniform was hilarious 😂

No Mick. No John. No Stewart. Barely feels like Time Team.

A cousin took us to Caerleon a few years back during a trip to Wales from Canada, it was amazing!

26:35 Twenty five years of your life for the roman legion, and no marriage allowed ?! No wonder rome fell.

Wonder if the animal broaches were used as unit identifications?

Oh for goodness sake. I'm watching this one for the third time (here in northern NM). Have I become a TT groupie? The UK is so interesting!

Great documentary. To understand the future we need to dig up the past.

Absolutely brilliant intellectual and absolutely brilliant

I always get quite happy when I see Matt

Thank you! Love your shows 🌻👩🏼‍🌾

Had to search to find it's the home of Legio II Aug. Sheech. You might have mentioned it straightaway.

that gemstone was in incredible shape

Cameraman seems to fancy those two pretty blondes! ;)

Outstanding Time Times‘s work the skill sets necessary to distill 10~5,000 yrs (and counting) of lives with bits of materials tossed away.

Although I am a blue collar worker I think off myself as rather an intellectual. However every episode I watch of Time Team I realize how shallow my knowledge is. Rather humbling or humiliating my hubris has been.

The old guy in the hat (Phil) is a character right out of DIckens. :)

You English folks have some great history and great shows that cover said history thank you in my older years I’m so fascinated with all history I like my local history I live in the Boston area of Massachusetts

History is so interesting 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Could it be a market? Maybe even a square for trading goods? Possibly even had a podium to stand on and speak to the square.

Thanks. My family’s Nemetes history goes back to times of the Roman Republic, and some of our Celtic Tribe served as Native Auxiliaries to Legio II Augusta. Renowned mounted axemen, family lore has it that we fought on BOTH sides, in the Teutoburg forest: under Tribune Quinctilius Varus on the one hand, and Cheruskan Dux Belli Germanus, on the other. The aspect is not mentioned in this documentary, but these extended excavations of structures southeastward from the known base, barracks, administration of the core of the Second in Britannia; their obviously pragmatic, utilitarian layout, and their separation, tell me something. The elite Legion kept itself mostly aloof from the important tag-alongs of merchantry and “native auxiliaries”! Remember that this was a main supply and trading port for Rome’s presence in Britain. Not just supply and replenishment, but also exploitation of the colony: lumber, ore, coal, plunder, etc. I wonder if they’ll decide; “This was the Harbor Master’s Office, that the Liaison’s.” (And the main Tavern. And the oldest trade of all, the bordello!) The huge market square may yield the most interesting small finds of all, where people mixed. And in off hours, probably the training field for the auxiliary troops.

Great program. Can't say I like the commercials every 5 minutes though.

Much love Tony Robinson

Please add date of filming at top

Don't go into archaeology. I tried that once, and my career was in ruins.

They rarely discuss any movement of the rivers from roman times. 2000 years is a long time.

Having just binge watched The Last Kingdom set in the 9th century, I became increasingly aware that early medieval warfare ( as depicted) lacked siege engines. It seems strange to me, given the engineering triumphs of Viking ship building. Obviously building a Roman era siege engine relied on skills endemic to the Roman army, but they are skills that are fundamental to building anything before the industrial revolution. Its difficult to see these skills dying out among the general population, particularly since the Britains did not stop playing Romans the moment England was cut loose in the mid fifth century.

Amazing site!

@44:10 That "flood" came from tsunami waves - this is why there's broken pottery all over the landscape ... this is also why on some sites the 17th century pottery is found under the 13th century pottery.

Thanks Team. 😎

Looks 25. "I've never excavated one of these in my archeological career." Hilarious!

AS a Finnish person, it always strikes me, that if you dig where ever on that tiny island you find something, Romans, Vikings, sa xons or Normanns etc. here in Finland only Ironage. But we do have Kalevala poems, witch JRR Tolkien stole and wrote Lord of the Rings thrilogy. Be happy!

Thank you for sharing

I am amazed how after the Romans left the local people could dismantle all Roman’s construction and level everything and create such beautiful agricultural fields and obliterate almost completely 400 yrs of roman’s presence.

Funny the man was amused by Tonys comments

Phil McCreviss is a brilliant and aptly named excavator.

Why are allot of timeline docos geo locked. Have to use a VPN to view them.

If they only included some footage of Matt, the Cardiff students and the karaoke machine, this episode would've been complete. 43:12

31:54 "Stonking-great pipe"...I thought it was "Zonking-great". Is it anything goes-great when it comes to these terms? I've heard Huge-great, Large-great, Big-great, Whacking-great, just about every great except Great-great.

40:26 : Freckles! :)

That is a Customs House. All traders passed through to pay tax or trading fees.

Wonder what sits in the area just off the edge where the water meets land. Likely a lot of work and amazing small finds lost long ago

Good Stuff. Thanks.

I think it was a rest stop. The Roman equivalent of a Flying J's. I wonder what the lot lizards looked like 2000 years ago?

@8:57. You're welcome. The Romans are blessed to have you on their grounds.

Love it , 😷😷🇨🇮🇨🇮

Love all things archeology and history. But dude, how tight are those pants?

Do we know that intaglii, such as the one at 13:15, were engraved? Is it possible they were etched using an acid, or something?

Excellent.

Good evening Baldrick

They really love saying Geo Phys!

I toured a Roman Colasium in Switzerland..

41:01 Apparently, the Romans really liked it up the Usk.

I wonder if there are any Roman records or references of the fortress that would help round things out

Instead od showing us just the digging, it would also be fascinating to show us a more detailed computerized reconstruction

Interesting, thanks!

The Centurion of the trenches, Phil Harding!!!

Watching this is like going going through the cupboard doors. Open up and there they were Romans or Saxons or Neolithics. If you have to go you return through the doors back to your own world.

Was here October 2020

Too many ads!

Bring back Stewart.......

I love history and operate heavy equipment. Where do I apply stateside to be a archeological dig site excavator?
