  2. Rome and the Invasion of London The Romans invaded London in 43 AD. Though a prior attempt at conquest had been made by Julius Caesar in 55 and 54 BC, they were not successful. By 43 AD the Romans already had an immense empire. They had no dire need for new land. However, their leader, Caligula, had been assassinated in 41 AD and Claudius had risen to the throne. Claudius faced much opposition from the Senate and Rome’s House of Lords and felt a glorious military victory in Britain would gain their favor and secure his spot on the throne.

  3. Roman London -Located by Thames River -Measured 1.5 kilometers and was surrounded by suburbs. -Era lasted between the 1st and 4th centuries. -Romans called London “Londinium”. -Londoners worshiped the god Mithras. -Era lasted between the 1st and 4th centuries. -It was a relatively unsettled area before the Roman conquer. -Its first bridge was built when the Roman commander, AulusPlautius, attempted to reach Colchester, which at that present moment was the most important town in Britain.

  4. Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni 18 years after settlement, Boudicca, queen of the Iceni tribe, attacked London and killed thousands, aiming mostly towards the trading center. After the attack, the city was rebuilt and expanded since then, becoming a major trading center over the next century. The expansion also included a basilica (town hall), bathhouses, a temple, and garrison.

  5. Rome Loses London Roman rule over London lasted almost 400 years. They had a powerful army but faced constant rebellion form native tribes of Britain and eventually foreign invasions from groups like the Anglo Saxons. Over time their grip on London loosened and by 425 AD it was no longer in any way “Roman”.

  6. BONUS PAGE!!! On the 31st of October archaeologists excavating at the future site of a 16-story hotel in London uncovered a 1,800-year-old Londiniumstatue of an eagle with a writhing serpent in its beak.
