- Summary:
- Every day in Britain, somebody somewhere unearths treasure. These were objects left behind by British ancestors that reveal the remarkable story of Britain-who the Brits are, and how they once lived. In this third episode of the series, the countdown of objects continues from object #37 to object #27. Bettany Hughes goes diving for Roman treasure; Michael Portillo investigates a 2000-year-old double-headed coin which might reveal history's first political coalition; John McCarthy tells the story of a beautiful jewel-encrusted cross that is one of the country's earliest Christian artifacts; a glass jar full of gold coins found on a Hackney council estate reveals a story of the Nazis; and John Sergeant investigates whether a hoard of French coins may be forgeries.
