The story of the biggest villa excavation in this country for 50 years, some of the finest mosaics ever discovered and a classic story of the growing wealth and opulence of the Romans in Britain is recounted here as Tony Robinson brings together the whole history of the villa in this special film.
The archaeology demonstrates how the villa grew from a small farm building to a fine stone building, and how that was expanded again and turned round to face the busy new Fosse Way.
