Review – The Entire History of Roman Britain

This documentary lives up to its name ably enough. And that’s a problem, because wow does the subject start to mash together after awhile. The familiar players – Julius Caesar, Boudica, Hadrian and a few others – are easy enough to tell apart. But a lot of the rest of the history blurs together into a parade of names that are super similar even when they aren’t actually identical (a common problem with a lot of Roman history). Blending notwithstanding, the filmmakers do a good job with the task at hand. Anyone with an interest in the subject should find this worth a look. Mildly amusing
