Description:Excerpt from The Pageant of London, Vol. 1: B. C. 40 to A. D. 1500For the second Chapter, on Life in Roman London, I have derived considerable assistance from notes I made many years ago, when in Rome, of a series of lectures on Roman colonial life, delivered by the celebrated Commendatore de Rossi; who was of opinion that so great were the inﬂuences centralised in the metropolis on the rest of the Roman Empire that existence in a Roman colonial city - even in one situated so far north as Londinium - was conducted on much the same lines as in Rome itself. The eminent archaeologist Signor Lanciani is also of this Opinion, which is upon the whole confirmed by the evidences Of social life in Roman London which have escaped the ravages of time and fire.The Saxon and Danish periods of the history of London difi'er from the Roman inasmuch as, whilst we have plenty of material, and but little documentary, evidence of the latter, so far as the metropolis is concerned, not a vestige of any building, public or private, remains to us from the former; though the written history, especially of the Saxons after the introduction of Christianity in 596 ad, is remarkably voluminous. It is a curious fact, however, that though we have no remains of Saxon buildings, the names of the churches they erected in London and of many of the streets they built, endure to this day.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
