Gladiators to Centurions - Roman London Tour
Uncovering the archaeology of north-west Londinium
The destruction caused by the Second World War gave archaeologists an opportunity to start exploring this little understood part of the Roman city. Excavations have revealed a vibrant area, once crowded with gladiators, soldiers, and craftspeople.
