The Ancient World in London - Hadrian's Wall Illuminated (7/25)

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/sean-williams/awil-video-series-illuminating-ha... ) Nicole Favish takes a trip up north to see the Hadrian's Wall Illuminations, marking 1600 years since the Romans left! Beacons, flares and torches were lit up along the length of the Roman wall, which is marked with forts, milecastles and turrets. Nicole talks to some Roman re-enactors from Germany, and learns about the Vindalanda writing tablets, one of Britains's most important discoveries from Linda Tuttiett.

What? there aren't more comments to such an interesting question? No question, I would go back to 1849 and travel with Harriet Tubman on her journey to freedom. Awesome !

I'd go back to 1983 and buy a heck of a lot of stock in Microsoft!
