When a high-status Roman villa called Yewden was discovered in southern England, it came with a sinister discovery. 97 infant skeletons were uncovered, all mysteriously around 40 weeks old, and likely buried all at once in a hurry. It raises many questions about systematic infanticide during the Roman period. The show also uncovers evidence of Roman expansion in Kent and trade with the Romans in Dorset, along with a significant coin hoard found in Somerset.
