From 'Below Southwark: the archaeological story' by Carrie Cowan

This partly-restored wall painting showing Cupid in an architectural fantasia is reminiscent of frescos from Pompeii. But it was found in Southwark, #Londinium and originally decorated a 2nd Century bathhouse. Materials included gold leaf and fancy imported red cinnabar.

Writing LONDINIUM, Part I: Maps and the first chapter! Finding time to write has been the difficult part of getting going for this book thus far.  And when I have a bit of time, I can sit and st...

Check out some new maps and read the first chapter of #LONDINIUM ... ety3rd.blogspot.com/2025/12/writ...

I'm curious what people think.

Pen and wash bird's eye view of conjectured Roman buildings, overlayed on the Eighteenth century city streets. The forum has been implausibly located over the Walbrook, the basilica is shown in the area of the medieval Guildhall, a temple to Diana sits under St Paul's Cathedral and London Bridge is notable by its absence.

Map of Roman London by antiquarian William Stukeley, c.1719.

Wrong about almost everything, but fascinating nonetheless.

In our quest to find the Roman Temple in Greenwich, we stumbled upon this beautiful view instead.
Unfortunately, there are no traces of the temple left, not even the foundation.

For #FrescoFriday, here's a cheeky goat (or Capricorn) leaping out of a fragment of painted Roman wall plaster from Londinium. Now in the Roman Britain gallery of the British Museum (visited yesterday after a hot, sweaty dash across London to sneak in before closing time 🔆).

Britse koortraditie op haar best Gratis bestaat. En gratis is niet altijd synoniem voor minderwaardig. Het tegendeel  bewees het concert dat zaterdagavond de Mechelse Sint-Janskerk deed vollopen. Met bijna vijftig traden ze aan, de leden van het kamerkoor Londinium en hun dirigent Andrew Griffiths. Net genoeg mannenstemmen om die harmonische basis te verzekeren. Net genoeg vrouwenstemmen om de weelde van […] Het bericht Britse koortraditie op haar best verscheen eerst op Klassiek-Centraal.be.

Londinium in Antwerpen – Een feestelijk banket voor oren en ziel Op zondagmiddag 6 juli vond in de indrukwekkende Sint-Jacobskerk in Antwerpen een bijzonder evenement plaats: het Britse kamerkoor Londinium bracht een programma dat de rijke variëteit van de Engelse koorliteratuur van de verfijnde polyfonie van de Renaissance tot de vurige klanken van hedendaagse componisten belichtte. Het concert gaf een schitterend overzicht van de Engelse koortraditie […] Het bericht Londinium in Antwerpen – Een feestelijk banket voor oren en ziel verscheen eerst op Klassiek-Centraal.be.

For #MosaicMonday - not quite mosaics, but the 2nd Century Roman tessellated floors that still pave the wonderful little museum in crypt of All Hallows-by-the-Tower in the City of London. Well worth a visit!

'World's Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle': 2,000-Year-Old Roman Frescos Unearthed in London The largest ever collections of a painted Roman wall plaster have been unearthed in London’s Southwark area, pieced together after 1,800 odd years from amongst the remains of an early Roman building,

Fresco fragments from a luxurious Southwark villa have been reassembled, showing bright yellow panels, birds, flowers, Greek graffiti, and a painter’s signature. A vivid moment of Roman London’s sophistication.

A reconstruction drawing of the Governor's palace by Alan Sorrell. The viewpoint is from the river side looking toward modern Canon Street and the London Stone.

On #StandingStoneSunday, one of the least impressive yet most intriguing remnants of Roman #Londinium, the 'London Stone'. It could perhaps be part of a monumental column associated with the suspected Governor's palace found nearby under Canon Street Station.

The extraordinary Gherkin. It was the architects, Foster + Partners, who arranged for the reinterment.

The bi-lingual funerary inscription.

Following a service at St Botolph's and a procession accompanied by classical flutes, the Lady Mayoress of the City of London scatters rose petals over the grave from a replica Roman bowl. (c) Foster + Partners

In 2007 the remains of a teenage girl from late 4th C. London were reinterred at the foot of the Gherkin, having been discovered during site clearance work. Roman-style funeral rites were observed and an inscription in English and Latin now marks the site.
