What better to follow up a 2 and a half hours look at the Sea People? Yes an hour and a half look at Roman Britain incorporating years of footage I have taken all over the island. I am now broken. I'm gonna go crawl under a rock now and write the next investigation into Britain's Early Middle Ages. Oh also I got engaged the other day! Cheers all!

Stay safe and catch you all soon. **The script was researched and written by Eric TenWolde- however some additions were made by myself, including the section on the Antonine Constitution developing into a disaster for the empire, and the Germanic influence in the Roman military by the latter 4th century.

Thank you!! Great videos! How about a video on Sun worship and the Vatican?

this is the kind of content the History Channel should be doing

Yep, the History Channel is anything but!
They did 20 years ago, but along came...pawn stars.
It’s a documentary spanning 465 years and it’s free on KZhead this channel is awesome
One of the best inventions
"History Time" is NOT TIMELINE. and nowhere near a National Geographic either ; The narrator's enunciations are quite good, but apparently the producers have merely recreated the "classroom." a real "History time' the old fashioned way, much like many of us had seen in our "classrooms" with a teacher and a few SLIDE STILLS . It's quite boring to view the same still six times throughout the "video" of the same branches of the same tree, narrated to be representing three differently wooded area . The very FEW actually "moving film pictures" are re-used continually (The water picture repeats as representing " The English Channel" over and over , and it appears a producer might have had a foot fetish ? The very few "moving" video action depicts ONLY the hooves the narrator is explaining. " The cow, then chariots"....A great opportunity to actually SHOW, depict a moving CHARIOT indicative of the times, is left omitted, while WE get to look a a bunch of cow and horse hooves ? (Even a STILL of the full chariot would have been nice; The "timing" wit the stills, (the sync) of the verbal descriptions is "off" too; Sloppily coordinated . When a battle is described, the whole concept of action is lost , but in TimeLine" videos, these come alive to the viewer, and each of the personalities , performed by their reenactments of them causes the viewer to easily be able to "remember "the individual, the "famous Emperor" much more effectively. Of course, this picture narrative is just fine for viewers who miss their old world history classes ?

Fake History Time There was no Roman Empire. Dr Anatoly Fomenko, book "History: Fiction or Science?".
@@simonruszczak5563 How did you learn to write?
I was born in Rome and I came across this documentary by chance. I started watching it out of curiosity, I thought it was too long. As I watched it I was more and more interested until the end when I was greatly impressed. I can assure you that here in Italy few people know this part of history with the details with which it is told here. This documentary is awesome, excellent work! I hope that someone here in Italy translates the vocal part into Italian, so that it can also be brought to schools. I believe that no one should ever forget their roots. For those who read and are interested in Roman history, I would like to remind you that here in Italy, in addition to the Colosseum and the many other monuments left in Rome and in the rest of Italy (which still deserve a visit!), there is an entire almost intact Roman city , as it was buried by a volcanic eruption in 79AD. I'm talking about Pompeii, which is worth a visit once in a lifetime. Congratulations again from a Roman for the excellent work! I subscribed to your channel and will follow your documentaries with interest. Greetings and congratulations from Rome.
Lol Greece is your master.

Well, that's TV sorted for tonight. Thanks a million!
That’s one of the most British comments I’ve ever read
Thanks for watching ! Much more on the way

The entire history of Roman Britain in 1 hour 38 minutes. A marvellous resource for scholars and students alike. Thank you!
My grandfather used to subscribe to "British Illustrated History" magazine back in the 1970's. There was an issue on "Roman Roads". I couldn't believe how much of the geographical infrastructure they created still exists to this day. That society knew what they were doing.
I love Peter voice so much. So calm. Of course all his history rocks
@@lindahjortkjaer1988 …agree. The human voice can make or break your attention level. Nice soothing voice at best.👍
Yep, the Roman Empire really was something
You know what they say; all roads lead to Rome.
Romans built great roads,, but look at the mental traffic in modern day Rome! Like here in Britain the Victorians would be still be spinning in their graves, Train service in Britain,,Balzelgette's sewer systems, Shame on us for profit.
Nervous about a job interview this morning & was desperately seeking something to listen to that would be good for my brain but not loud & obnoxious, found nothing on any streaming channel, hit the jackpot first by listening to a few Voices of the Past episodes then had to climb into this favorite, next up- Sea Peoples!!! Amazing work guys- thank you again for your dedication & love for sharing history w the rest of us nerds! Much much love!!!
Hope the interview went well!
Perfect voice to fall asleep too!Perfect loud obnoxious adverts to wake you back up!
This is so well made. Way better than most of the nonsense on mainstream TV channels and on a shoestring, I presume. Hats off.

VIEWING TIP: This historian's videos are always good. His narratives are well written, but they are slowly paced. Some viewers might like them even better played at 1.25X or even 1.50x nornal speed.
Wow thanks, 1.25 seems to be perfect for me!
Great idea. Thanks !
i watch at 2x speed as usual
Schön zusammengeschnittene Symbolbilder. Ob die erzählten Geschichten die Quellenlage richtig wiedergeben, bleibt für mich offen.
I don’t know what’s more interesting to me, the Roman Empire or Space. Both are so fascinating to me.
They won't show how aliens built Rome, but they will show how aliens built Egypt. If aliens built Egypt, obviously these aliens didn't leave.
Romans built the aliens, but we don't know yet

To the maker of this documentary, you should give yourself a big pat on the back. This is brilliantly done. The shots , music and sheer research and information. Well done! This surpasses the vast majority of anything on TV !
The shots? He recycles the same photos over and over. A lot are just random shots of beaches and maps. Low standards.....

No, it's not. The last 20 minutes are no good at all.
@@frauleinhohenzollern8442 Indeed! It would have been better if the maps indicated the locations in the narrations. ie. the places where the Romans landed. The names of these places may be common for people living in England, but for the rest of the world, other than London, we don't know where those locations on the island are.
Its amazing to think it was nearly 500 years... Rome came because Britain was a bread basket and source of gold, tin and copper. Its also why they drew a line with Hadrian's wall..they didn't go where there was nothing to be gained. As with Africa.
They drew the line because they were unable to subjugate the Picts and Caledonian tribes. Don't believe the BRIT/English historian propaganda! See Antonine's wall...they tried to advance further north and were destroyed there,
@@lochside7647 Nothing to see there...why would they subjugate a worthless land? Same goes for Ireland.
Thank you for this channel, and the historical travel. Was lovely to see the places with roman vestiges and the statues that reminds their footprint on Brittain. My regards from Argentina!
...Sees an hour and a half long video about Roman Britain... "Oh yeeeeeeah boi"
Awww yeaaahhhhhhhh
Norf FC defending against the invasion: We 'ave to stop ceezur!!! Them shields are summink Innit?
Errrr Roman ENGLAND.....NOT BRITAIN......
@ geographically yes, plus Wales which has gained autonomy from England in the last century. England means "land of the Angles" though and because the Angles (and Saxons too ofc) settled after the Roman era it would be a bit anachronistic to call it "Roman England". "Roman Britain" should be understood as "the Roman part of Britain". For the same reasons we don't speak of "Roman France" but of "Roman Gaul".
London still belongs to the Romans.
"How can we make this as Roman looking as possible?" "A soldier touching wheat." "... ... ... You're a god damn genius."
@Osakpolo Asemota it's actually a prerequisite for any history documentaries.
I don't know where you get the time, I barely have time to watch these. Anyway, great work and congratulations on your engagement!
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"
They like to roman wash everything i don't believe most the stories come from roman sources they tend to lie about their opponents
Don't use God's name in vain my man. Yeh ur right he's good👍
This is just like being back in junior school. Our teacher used to dedicate all our Friday afternoons to History and it was brilliant ..even the kids who despised school enjoyed these Friday afternoon History injections. And at the weekends, as well as the traditional football and "fighting" games, we would also play out what We 'd learned in our History lessons .Damn fine. Very good stuff. Cheers kid! Well done.
I know its brill ent it?, goody, goody gum drops, let me tell you, i was so excited?!, its Just like the teachers do now with senior school kids, but this way more informative and informational, i didnt here one of those special words that makes my head skank out in a haze like a dose of torrets👍, very concise and 5 red ⭐*s for the OP..hip, hip, hooray...
I love Pete's passion for history. That's what draws me to his documentaries. Great work, Pete.
A most informative and quietly passionate analysis of the times of Roman Britain.
The History Channel needs to hire you and say, “Do your thing History Time”
ROMA: They came, they saw, they ermm felt the British weather and wanted to go home. Great video, a story beautifully told.👍
I love Roman history and how they became one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
Roman, Greek, ancient Egyptians and Sumerian - architecture looks so similar !
@@jamessmythe1891 Except that the Romans built domes.
@@zoetropo1 Any idea how the ancient Egyptians were able to lift and position blocks of stones up to 80tons and also what tools did they used to precision cut those hard stones ?

Looking forward to see what have you prepared for the 28th.

I really enjoyed this. I recommended it to my wife, and she enjoyed it too. We were just saying how your presentation really hits the spot - all the relevant facts presented, and in a straightforward way. Much better, in fact, than many BBC documentaries that spread the information thin and pad things out with ambient music and lingering landscape shots, leaving the viewer with the feeling "that was an hour of my life wasted". The whole of Roman Britain in 1h38m: I doubted it could be done, but you cracked it!
I do so agree. Many documentaries, not just the BBC, are spoiled by padding. A friend and I watched one once and worked out that the amount of information given in a one hour program, could be given in under ten minutes of reading.

I thought it was OK for an amateur attempt, and admittedly the subject is vast, but there were several instances where I thought that the points made needed further exploration and added explanation. Perhaps a good documentary on this subject should be done in digestible chunks about an hour in length each. Though I suppose people might get bored with that.

You don't watch it for free. You pay for the internet.
I think it's a "promo" (in its entirety) for the Subscription "MagellanTV" channel...which I think runs for about 50$US for a year.
What an amazing video - put together by one person too - so much better than the ones put together by big organisations. I only discovered these today and was listening to them on a long journey today and now in my hotel room. I'm definitely going to track all these down. Thank you so much for making them and uploading them.
Thank you so much for such impressive and well madre documentary. I'm from Spain but I have been living in Britain from 8 years now and is amazing how rich the Roman legacy is in the UK Porchester Castle, Bath , Bignor and Brading Roman villas just to mention what I have nearby.
Easily one of the BEST documentaries I’ve ever seen, especially when it comes to English history. Very thorough and well-researched. Appreciate your flashing the names of people and places (and maps) on the screen, too, so that I can spell them and research them further on my own. I’m an American who LOVES English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish history. Very well done. Thanks for this!

1st century Britons: get out of our lands romans. 400 years later STAY PLEASE!!!!
It's what I would call "learned reliance," the states of the US have learned to rely on their federal government; whereas in the 19th century, each state operated relatively independantly. If the US federal government collasped, the states would be in disarray, many states would collapse themselves, not being able to put up with the needs of its people. Unchecked immagration, thats not willing to listen to the states they enter, but now federal police or military to keep them in check. if Rome was the federal government and collasped, and Germanic peoples moved in and took power. history repeats.
@@jdstocco84 I think you have a nice point but you should take in consideration that during the Roman Empire State self reliance could turn to complete isolation and the choosing of military leaders who could rebel against the empire
Not to mention that the modern states are governed differently and immigrants are not coming in thousands of thousands tribal groups and not sacking towns or carrying seaxes and war axes

I usually find it hard to follow documentary videos spanning such large amounts of time, Even though I really want to. But there's clearly enough flavour and setting created before key time-points here that it doesn't just feel like a long list, like so many others do. A really well made documentary.
This was a great documentary! Thank you for making it! One thing about youtube I love is that there are so many independent youtubers on here who produce documentaries like this, on subjects like these!

I watched a documentary about the Normans and the narrator did the same. Made me chuckle a bit.
As a Roman General I would caress something else.

To be fair, the Romans really wheat and romanticized farming. The Roman Statesman Cicero once said, "of all the occupations by which gain is secured, none is better than agriculture, none more profitable, none more delightful, none more becoming to a free man". Retiring soldiers often received land plots as their pension with the idea being that they would turn this land into a farm; the decline of this practice in the later Republic is what led to the Populares Party gaining the support of the military.
It is fascinating to see the faces of all those emperors in stone & coinage. Amazing to see how much material has survived. So many fancy new buildings in London today; what will remain of them in 1500 years? I don't think anything at all.
Another fine effort Pete..such a fascinating and obscure period which you succeeded in presenting with notable clarity,
PLEASE SHARE SOURCES! You can put them in the video, in the descriptions, but please, give us the sources you use, i.e. the books and authors you use to extrapolate the informations presented in the video. This work you are doing is great, but without sources it is just a nice story that has not historical evidence and accuracy. In this way you will help millions of people to know how History is done and how it develops!

@@HistoryTime Thx for the sources!
@@HistoryTime THANKS for sharing the sources and writing them in the descriptions! This is what a TOP NOTCH historical channel looks like, I'm sure you will grow more and more within both amateur History lovers and professionals! Keep up with this amazing work! :)
@@HistoryTime awesome
Too many secondary sources.... tsk tsk where did you get your degree
Wonderful program, thank you. I look forward to watching more of your material. Excellent stuff!
This is great work. No current political narratives superimposed over it. Just quality research presented with great production values.
"but we're SUPPOSED to blame Bush!"🤣
"No current political narratives superimposed over it." In other words, this video did nothing to challenge my prejudices or biases and therefore I find it to be totally non-threatening.
Hi Peter, I've just come across your channel and it is superb. The content, scripting and presentation are all top notch, detailed and engaging. Excellent work.
Glad to have found the channel. A propper presentation of history. Subscribed and headed for the archives.
This is an amazing channel keep doing the detailed observations of the past .
I'm swede and have been reading a lot about this and also watch Time Team digging up a lot. This was by far the best I've seen.
😀 really happy with the background music much softer and easier to listen to your voice. Love your documentaries Thank you
The depth and quality of this video is astonishing. I can barely think of words of praise that don't fall short of what would do it justice. Simply amazing.
This is great timing, I just finished Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast a few days ago.
I think your videos are just awesome buddy. I've been waiting for content like this and I didn't even know it!
Excellent historical knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
This reminds of the late 90’s documentaries of history, or Tony Robinson type thing. Which I enjoyed so much, the BBC need to hire you. The crap they bring out, is so dumbed down, might as well put it on CBBC. 🙏
This was fantastic. Keep up the great work!
History Time always has great content, but this is exceptional.
Your dedication to your craft is remarkable. Thank you for this and all of your documentaries. You’re a treasure, Pete!
Yes, and even better I never have to worry about Pete making stuff up to fill space like commercial TV
Always love your content about Hadrian’s Wall and the surrounding area being lucky to live near there!

Brilliant video, cannot believe this is for free, far better than the stuff on TV!
Still pick up something new every time I play this one. So much to think about, I even have to rewind it after being lost in pondering all this history. 👍👵💕
I don't know where you get the time, I barely have time to watch these. Anyway, great work and congratulations on your engagement!
This was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!!!
First class content, indeed! Congratulations, Pete, magnificient work! Warm greetings from Izamal, Yucatán,
Very good documentary. So well done and so interesting. Thank you for the classic presentation. And congratulations on your engagement. Hope it lead to a long and happy relationship andmuch happiness.
Magnificent, well researched and narated. The footage sometimes feels a little bit repetitive but it's understandable that for a small production there are limits what you can obtain. This would be absolutely bombshell material if it would be illustrated/animated rather than with video capture. Gold! really enjoyed it!
Fake History Time There was no Roman Empire. Dr Anatoly Fomenko, book "History: Fiction or Science?".
Shut up englishmen
@@simonruszczak5563 lol , there's more evidence ,building remains, pottery, coins, and much more About the Roman empire than any other time in our past history Yet you choose to believe the ONLY nutjob that claims there was no Roman empire .. lol
@@simonruszczak5563which shrooms 😂
Phenomenal video! Better than a tv doc !
Thank you very much Pete Kelly really enjoyed that!
Very well researched and presented video! Good job! 🇬🇧😎👍
Your documentaries are so good. The one of the Sea Peoples I come back to and recommend to lots of people.
Watching something this high quality for free feels boderline criminal !
Well, you can support him on his Patreon page.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
This was an absolute treat to watch, I thank you.
This is really amazing! So well produced and excellent narration. I had been looking through history channels for a while trying to find a complete Roman history of Britain. Thanks so much for posting this!
Well researched, perhaps; well narrated, yes; well produced it is not.TIMELINE *The History Channel actually produces a "move-type" moving vide reenacts all of the characters being referred to in theirs, their battles and depicts their "clans of dwellers" much better; Well researched, perhaps; well narrated, yes; well produced it is not.I'm remembering well-coordinated STILLS with my World History Teacher NARRATING too; This is very much the same; "History Time" is NOT TIMELINE. and nowhere near a National Geographic either ; The narrator's enunciations are quite good, but apparently the producers have merely recreated the "classroom." a real "History time' the old fashioned way, much like many of us had seen in our "classrooms" with a teacher and a few SLIDE STILLS . It's quite boring to view the same still six times throughout the "video" of the same branches of the same tree, narrated to be representing three differently wooded area . The very FEW actually "moving film pictures" are re-used continually (The water picture repeats as representing " The English Channel" over and over , and it appears a producer might have had a foot fetish ?

Of course, this picture narrative is just fine for viewers who miss their old world history classes ?
@@lyndafaye6748 what are you winging about? If you think you can do better, then go off and make your own content. It's so easy to criticise!
As a half Italian / half irishman I've always been i terested in this part of history . Me and my father always wanted to get to the islands and metal detect . Great video bud
Funny. That's the exact same ethnic mix I am.
It’s a great experience.. my brother found a Viking weight about a kilo in weight , square with runic carvings on it, probably worth around $2000 dollars
A very fascinating and rich blood blend, yours.
Blimey Irish/Italian I bet you could start a fight in a telephone box.
@@bushwhackeddos.2703 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliantly done…!!!! You earned yourself a subscription. 👏👏👌👌
I really enjoyed that. Well made. Excellent content...hats off to the researcher.
I hope You keep making these amazing videos, I have learned so much from watching them.
Pete thank you so much this is exceptional. It's hard to overstate just how well researched, produced and delivered your content is. Seriously, well done.

Absolutely excellent Pete. Well done and thank you very much.
Excellent documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thankyou.
