First published in 1971 The London that was Rome is both a
detective story and a tale of buried treasure. Some years ago,
Michael Harrison set out to discover the truth about Roman London.
Did it survive the Saxon onslaught in the fifth century or (as many
historians have claimed) did it lie sacked, ruined, and abandoned
for about a century and a half? Searching for an answer, Harrison
forged himself a new 'truth detecting' method of discovery; but
even he could not anticipate the immense success of this method.
With 'New Archaeology' he has not only recovered the street plan of
Roman London, but also replaced the buildings-temples, barracks,
banks, baths, picture-galleries, treasuries and so on - which lined
those streets. In many cases he has been able to name the streets
and at the same time vividly describe for us the social and
economic life of a London, which under the Caesars, ranked among
the principal cities of the Empire. This book is an interesting
read for students of archaeology, history, and for general readers
interested to know about London.
