Hi, I'm Fashion Historian Amber Butchart.
Today we're here at Wroxeter Roman City, which is cared for by English Heritage.
During the third century when Britain was part of the once powerful Roman Empire, this was one of the largest cities in the country.
From tradespeople to trendsetters, Wroxeter was a thriving metropolis of power, politics and pampering.
Today we're going to be exploring the Roman beauty trends that quite literally changed the face of Britain.
We're going to show you how you can recreate a Roman-inspired look at home, and we're goi ng to be taking a look at some makeup artefacts found right here at Wroxeter.
So what are we waiting for? Let's explore Roman Britain.
Rebecca, hello!
Hi Amber, it's nice to see you again.
Nice to see you too. Now today is very exciting. Britain was a province of the Wroxeter Roman City which was the fourth largest city in Roman Britain, comparable in size to Pompeii in Italy.
