Seven programmes in which Malcolm Billings explores the world of archaeology.
2: The Temple of Sulis Minerva at Bath
A third-century writer mentioned that Minerva presides over springs furnished luxuriously for human use, but it was not until 1727 that workmen actually discovered a gilded bronze head of the goddess. This exciting archaeological discovery substantiated the documentary record. Now, the site below the famous Pump Rooms in Bath is being extensively excavated with exciting results.

In the third of 13 talks by BBC foreign correspondents,
Kevin Ruane visits Lublin, one of Poland's oldest cities and a microcosm of its
Church-State tensions. It was here, in 1944, that the embryo of the present Communist regime was formed during the fight against Nazi occupation. But 40 years later, Lublin is also the home of a thriving Catholic
University, the only one of its kind in the Soviet bloc.
