Great series, Jim. Loads of interesting information. You obviously took a lot of time on the research.

[waynedexter]

Love this series! I was born and brought up in Leicester so recognise all the places you describe. I've not lived there for 25 years but still have a soft spot for it. Thanks.

Once again you've excelled yourself 2 more brilliant episode's 6a and 6b, Roman history is made more interesting when it's simplified but stimulating, I've watched them all and can't wait for more, thanks

[caiusofglantri]

Thank you very much for this - very well presented. You really brought to life the possibilities of Veracunda and Lucius to me, turning the inscription from just some dead inscription into a vivid recreation of a moment in Roman life.

Most informative Jim. I learned more from your series of videos than i ever learned at school!

[BeerElf]

I had no idea about the Western Road cemetery, I'd thought the street names were just the Victorians being whimsical. Thank you!

[nealeford]

Loving this new series so far. Obviously a lot of work has gone into the making of it. Would very much like to see a more in-depth look at the archeology of Leicester from all periods. I think you could make it a very interesting topic

[mitchyevans]

I absolutely love this series! I was born in Leicester & my ancestors were from Leicestershire going back 500years or more. I hope you do more videos :)

[pamelabriggs]

Wonderful as always. I was particularly waiting for mention of the Norfolk street villa. This series is so interesting with so much information. Excellent thankyou and well done with the nomination archealogical achievement awards in Edinburgh next month. Superb x
