• HOW TO BUILD A ROMAN VILLA

ABOUT THE SHOW

Two thousand years ago, the Romans transformed Britain with straight roads, spectacular aqueducts and magnificent cities.

The countryside was studded with luxurious villas. But today only ruins remain.

Now, six skilled builders are changing that in this six-part series, How To Build A Roman Villa.

Foreman Jim, plasterer Tim, plumber Kevin, carpenter Fred, brickie Darren and labourer Ben are trying to construct an authentic Roman villa, using only tools and materials that were available to the Romans.

The villa is for English Heritage and they have just six months to complete the job.

They will be responsible for the building process and assisted by archaeologist Professor Dai Morgan Evans. He has previous experience at trying to recreate a Roma Villa, but this earlier attempt was compromised by planning constraints.
