Thanks for sharing your tour. Learn a lot. Love from Penang.
Amazing tour! I so appreciate being invited along to see the treasures of this exhibition (since I won't get there myself), and the interior of that incredible restaurant. Great job!!😀👍

Glad we could share some of our favourite exhibition finds with you! Loved editing the restaurant footage! It was so dreamy!! 😍
Wonderful video, ladies. I love history: ancient, medieval, renaissance, and on and on. So, I must say that this video about the current exhibition of the Roman experience in Britain is absolutely the 'tops'. It's amazing that Britain has such strong ties, historically, to the ancient Roman empire, as our entire 'western culture' is founded upon ancient Greece and Rome. I wish I could fly from the US to 'Merry' 'ol London, right now, and see this before it ends (in June). But at least I had the good fortune to catch your beautiful video and thoroughly enjoyed it. May we always continue to learn the lessons of history both the pain and the glory so that we evolve into an ever greater understanding of the 'human spirit'. Again, thanks so much. (Atlanta, USA)
Wonderful video, ladies thank you so much for sharing!

I think we did about 16,500 steps that day! 😂 More than we do digging hahah we managed to fit in a lot and the late lunch was well worth it! The staff were lovely and the food was delicious 😋🤎 Thank you!! 🙏
I love you guys!! You are amazing archeology enthusiasts just like me. Roman Britain is my special interest. I have had to opportunity to visit many British Roman sights as well as dozens over Europe and North Africa. My husband and children resignedly (on their part) joined me on delighted (on my part) wandering over Roman sights and imagining how the people who built it lived. Cheers

How amazing! Do you think next years fashion and decor trends will be influenced by the show? the colors and design were beautiful and I would love to see arm purses walking down a runway. Thank you for taking us to such an amazing restaurant.
@RomanFound

Definitely!! I think we’re already starting to see influences, also the Roman Empire became a trend on social media last year, so it’s very much in the public consciousness at the moment! I’d expect to see that filtering through to interior and fashion trends.
Outstanding video. Love your channel so much. 💕

Hi, just to say what a really good exhibition and I was surprised with the amount of finds found in Suffolk, all in good condition, does not matter if you scratches, chips etc for something to survive that long in the ground, brilliant. The restaurant looked a treat and such a fitting place to finish your day, look forward to next video

Thanks for bringing us along on your fascinating day. What did you end up buying in the museum shop? Those Roman encaustic mummy case portraits are among my favorite body of works in all of art history. I have a question and a comment. What was the object that looked like it was made of a crocodile skin?

No worries Lisa!! Thanks for watching!! We ending up getting the exhibition book and a selection of postcards 😂 We told ourselves we didn’t need the teddy bear! 😭🥲 So beautiful right! The crocodile skin was an armoured suit! Very outrageous!! Never seen anything like it before!
Enjoyed your tour through the British Museum. The restaurant looks amazing, did you order the table in advance? I'm coming to London in April and will visit British Museum exhibition and maybe have a lunch in Bacchanalia! Thanks for showing. Happy Hunting!
