Discovery Channel - Rebuilding the Past

Until now, it has been impossible to really explore a true-to-life Roman villa. That was until we began to recreate one at Butser Farm, Hampshire. Now you can share the experience of going back in time by entering our unique 360° virtual tour of the villa as it's being constructed in Rebuilding the Past.

The Rebuilding the Past series on Discovery Channel documents the construction of an entire Roman villa on a site in the depths of the Hampshire countryside. The series tracks the highs and lows of this ambitious archaeological project filled with the stories of the individuals involved.

We follow the team as they make sense of the evidence that exists and try out the Romans’ own techniques and theories, the hard way. But at the end of this large-scale project, they will have constructed a complete Roman building, the closest anyone will get to experiencing a Roman villa.
