Roman Britain in a week
Hadrian's Wall, Bath, London, Caerwent, Vindolanda — the empire's northernmost province.
Britain was a Roman province for 367 years (43-410 AD). The most enduring legacy is Hadrian's Wall in the north, the Roman Baths in Bath, and the layout of London (Londinium). Add Caerwent in Wales, the mosaics at Fishbourne, and the forts at Vindolanda, Caerleon and Chester, and you have a serious week's worth of Roman archaeology.
