Sidequest 3 - Scotland, The Romans and Walls
#scotland #ancientrome #romanscotland #antiquity #classicalantiquity #rome
Our third sidequest takes us to Roman Scotland, or "Barbaricum" (The Land of the Barbarians) as it was known back in Antiquity. Dr. Andrew Tibbs is our guide on this quest. During our interview, we discuss the Roman invasions of Scotland, the native tribes, the incomplete historical narrative we have and the famous walls the Romans constructed. We also discuss how the Romans and the Scots interacted with another another. And, so you know, it turns out that archeology is critical to understanding Roman Scotland. So, if you want to become an expert, you'll need to turn into Indiana Jones. Plus, I make a reference to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!
Dr. Tibbs has written a number of books on Roman Scotland which you can find here. He also runs the popular Roman Scotland account on Twitter. Follow him there to learn more about an underappreciated historical era. You can also monitor his Academia page to keep up with his scholarly work.
On the opening theme music, for now it’s from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):
