EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into London's rich historical past. The photograph features an outline of the Old Roman Wall as it appeared in the late 19th century, as depicted on a map of London from 1885. The Old Roman Wall, a testament to the city's ancient heritage, once encircled the Roman settlement of Londinium, which was established around 43 AD. The wall, which is believed to have been constructed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, served as a defensive barrier against invading forces. Measuring approximately 2.1 kilometers in length, the wall was made of limestone, flint, and mortar, and stood up to 6 meters high in some places. As London grew and prospered, the wall was gradually dismantled and its stones were reused for other building projects. By the 18th century, only a few scattered sections of the wall remained. However, in the 19th century, there was renewed interest in London's Roman past, and efforts were made to preserve and excavate the remaining sections of the wall. This map from 1885, which highlights the outline of the Old Roman Wall, reflects this renewed interest in the city's Roman heritage. The wall is shown in its fragmented state, with sections marked as "Roman Wall" and other sections shown as "Ruins." The map also includes other points of historical interest, such as the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Today, visitors to London can still see remnants of the Old Roman Wall, which have been incorporated into modern buildings and public spaces. The wall serves as a reminder of the city's long and complex history, and continues to fascinate and inspire generations of Londoners and visitors alike.
