Major GORDON HOME : 'Life in Roman Britain-V, Country Life '

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

IN this evening's talk Major Home surveys villages, farms, and country houses. Ho gives a list of trees introduced by the Romans, and explains the famous system of their military roads, with their milestones and bridges. From this he passes naturally to the Roman postal service, and then to their mining of lead, iron, and tin, and their stone-quarrying. This brings up a consideration of the great problem of slavery under Roman rule.
