600-Year-Old Roman Man May Offer New Clues to London's Past

[Viggen]

The remains of a wealthy Roman man, buried 1,600 years ago near London's St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, is providing clues for archaeologists trying to understand a little-known period in the city's history. The remains of the man, who was in his early 40s when he died about A.D. 410, went on display yesterday at the Museum of London. The museum also is showing items found in tombs nearby that date from a period when the Saxons of northern Germany ruled the city.

That's quite an interesting and thought provoking article Viggen. Personally I never bought the idea that the Romans and Saxons were great enemies. Sometimes far too much emphasis is automatically put onto a group of foreigners coming to these shores and having to literally fight to gain a foothold.

 

Anyway, this I may look further into when I get to go back to London for a visit.
