Dan Jones travels the historic Roman road of Ermin Way. Not to be confused with Ermine Street which runs north from London to York, Ermin Way is arguably Britain's most industrial Roman road. Dan's journey reveals just how many of Britain's natural resources were exploited by the Romans and exported into their wider empire in Europe.

Dan Jones travels the historic Roman road of Stane Street, which runs for around sixty-seven miles from London to Chichester. Along the way he considers how our Roman overlords abandoned Britain in the early fifth century AD, when their empire came under attack from the barbarian tribes of northern Europe. The very roads the Romans built to conquer Britain now became their escape routes.
