Time Team - 1994 - 02 - Ribchester, Lancashire.txt
Originally Aired: 23 January 1994 / Recorded: 04-06 September 1993
Tony's Introduction:
This is Ribchester in Lancashire. It s a typical bit of tranquil, peaceful English countryside isn t it? But imagine what it would have been like to have been stuck up here in mid-winter if you were an ordinary Roman foot soldier. This place would have been the last outpost of the Empire, a really barbarian place where the only thing that stood between you and instant death at the hands of some maniac Brit tribesman who had been wound up into a frenzy by his local druid and sent hairing down this hillside, would have been your fighting skills and your fort and that little river over there.
So& How did they protect themselves? Did they just march up here in 43AD when Claudius invaded and build a big fort and then march out again 250 years later& Or did they constantly have to adapt their tactics depending on local conditions and local politics?
Well, we hope that part of the answer to that would be in someone s back garden. A local resident has written a letter to this weeks time team.
Thanks to Warpo for the above...
