Londinium, Roman settlement in City of London, Great Britain
The Roman city of Londinium extended across 1.4 square kilometers at the River Thames crossing, featuring stone buildings, streets, and defensive walls.
Established around 47-50 AD following the Claudian invasion, Londinium replaced Camulodunum as the capital of Roman Britain and grew to 60,000 inhabitants.
The settlement contained multiple temples, public baths, an amphitheater for entertainment, and a forum-basilica for administrative and commercial activities.
Remains of Roman walls, gates, and buildings are visible near Museum of London, Noble Street, and London Wall in the modern City district.
The riverside defensive wall, constructed around 255 AD to counter Saxon pirates, followed the present Thames Street alignment with the former river shoreline.
