Opis

First published in 1971 The London that was Rome is both a detective story and a tale of buried treasure. With ‘New Archaeology’ the author has not only recovered the street plan of Roman London, but also replaced the buildings-temples, barracks, banks, treasuries and so on – which lined those streets.
