That is one of our best performing episodes of all time.

And we did release another episode earlier this year with Dr Francis McIntosh about how to survive on Hadrian's Wall, what the archaeology is revealing about

the people who lived along Hadrian's Wall during the time that the Romans were in Britain.

So previous to the time mentioned largely in this episode today.

We will put a link to both those episodes in the show notes if you want to learn more about Hadrian's Wall, the story of the end of Roman Britain and more.

Now, if you are enjoying The Ancients, please make sure to follow the show, whether that be on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

That does really help us and you'll be doing us a big favour.

If you'd be kind enough to leave us a rating as well, well, we'd really appreciate that.

For a long time, Iron Age Britain has been misunderstood.

In the past, this centuries-long period of British prehistory, just before the Roman conquest, has been portrayed as a shadowy world, dominated by warriors in blue paint.
