Welcome to this weeks video where we take a look at the role of The Fosse Way in Early Roman Britain.

Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Errors. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:

A. Did I say "Walken"?
B. A couple have question why I have suggested this is a Wall. Firstly I would urge you to watch the video in full. This is a theory that I have seen numerous times now, so why not delve deeper. I really try to avoid presenting theories that are my own, I am no academic and absolutely don't want to fly in the face of archaeology or scientific process in any way. What I try to do is question theories presented that seem long held and have no scientific or academic basis, in this case the website rural-roads (link below), wiki and Tacitus himself, that all suggested this was some kind of border, or ditch or wall.
