27:44

Natalie Haynes tells the stories of the handful of Roman-British
women whose traces stay with us: a fierce queen, a slave woman
freed for love, the so-called 'Ivory Bangle Lady' and Claudia
Severa, whose invitation to her friend to her birthday party some
two thousand years ago is one of the greatest historical
treasures of Roman Britain.

Wooden tablets, ivory (and jet) bangles and a romantic gravestone
inscription from South Shields. Natalie is joined by guests
Professor Llewelyn Morgan and archaeologist Dr Paul Roberts.

Stand up comedy, ancient details and a lot of fascinating gossip
from a couple of thousand years ago.
