Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from London Topographical Record, Vol. 4: Illustrated, Including the Seventh Annual Report of the London Topographical Society
I will here say a few words about the town included in the great wall. One remarkable fact is that, with Slight modifications, the line of the wall still forms the boundary of the various City wards, within; the wards and liberties, without, having been added later. The Roman city is said to have been about 380 acres in extent. In spite of the mass of interesting remains which have been found within this area, it is noteworthy that not much definable trace of important buildings has so far come to light. Its high im portance in Roman times is shown, among other things, by its being the centre to which great roads converged. For purposes of comparison I would add that the wall of Sil Chester encloses about 100 acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
