Rutger Hauer stars in this action comedy as a homeless man who
takes vigilantism to a new scale. Arriving in a new city, our hero
soon realises that it is a hotbed of crime and corruption presided
over by gang bosses and bent cops who will do nothing to deliver
justice. Armed robberies, prostitution and paedophilia are rife,
and the only obvious way to tackle the perpetrators is to take to
the streets with a 20-guage pump-action shotgun.
The discovery of one of Roman Londons most significant buildings -
its amphitheatre - underneath the medieval Guildhall resulted from
major archaeological excavations which took place between 1985 and
1999 as part of the City of London Corporations ambitious programme
of redevelopment at the Guildhall. The history of the Guildhall and
its precinct from the 12th to the 20th centuries is the subject of
a companion volume. This book describes the construction,
development and disuse of the amphitheatre, from the 1st to 4th
centuries AD. Constructed on relatively low ground in the
north-west part of Londinium, the first amphitheatre was built in c
AD 74 of timber. Evidence was recovered for the eastern entrance,
arena palisade, bank for seating and associated drains. The
amphitheatre was rebuilt shortly after AD 120, with masonry
foundations and walls, associated with new timber stands. The
evidence allows conjectural reconstruction and comparison with
other British amphitheatres. Abandoned by the mid 4th century, the
amphitheatre was largely demolished and sealed by dark earth. The
arena may have survived as an oval depression until the area was
reoccupied in the 11th century. Significant finds assemblages
include an early 2nd-century dump of glass cullet, lead curses from
the arena surface and samian pottery with gladiatorial motifs. The
amphitheatres remains are preserved and displayed in the basement
of the new Guildhall Art Gallery.
