*** Winner of the PROSE Award (2019) for Classics *** This major
new work on Roman London brings together the many new discoveries
of the last generation and provides a detailed overview of the city
from before its foundation in the first century to the fifth
century AD. Richard Hingley explores the archaeological and
historical evidence for London under the Romans, assessing the city
in the context of its province and the wider empire. He explores
the multiple functions of Londinium over time, considering economy,
industry, trade, status and urban infrastructure, but also looking
at how power, status, gender and identity are reflected through the
materiality of the terrain and waterscape of the evolving city. A
particular focus of the book is the ritual and religious context in
which these activities occurred. Hingley looks at how places within
the developing urban landscape were inherited and considers how the
history and meanings of Londinium built upon earlier associations
from its recent and ancient past. As well as drawing together a
much-needed synthesis of recent scholarship and material evidence,
Hingley offers new perspectives that will inspire future debate and
research for years to come. This volume not only provides an
accessible introduction for undergraduate students and anyone
interested in the ancient city of London, but also an essential
account for more advanced students and scholars.
