S21 | Dig 2: Box Flue Tile – 3D Model
🕑 Added 2021-11-08 10:34:31 +0000 UTCIt gets colder at this time of year here in the UK and many of us are now starting to put the central heating on. Back in Roman Britain, only the grandest buildings had that option!
One clear indication of a relatively high-status Roman building is the presence of box flue tile fragments from a hypocaust system used to heat rooms. We have a wonderful example to share from this September's dig at the Roman villa in Broughton, Oxfordshire.
As well as an incredible 3D model, we're joined by finds specialist, Rachael Seager Smith in the finds tent, who tells us more...

Note: Thank you for all your post-production questions for Director Emily. We're compiling these now and will get back to you with answers soon!

...and I'm guessing that slave labor was used to stoke the fire to make the heat. I hope they were able to enjoy the warmth...daily life, it would be wonderful to hear more about it.
Would love to see the last home built with hypocaust in Britain before the fall.
