Londinium - Roman London
Londinium was a settlement established on the current site of the City of London around AD 43. Its bridge over the River Thames turned the city into a road nexus and major port, serving as a major commercial centre in Roman Britain until its abandonment during the 5th century.
Londinium (o Roman London in lingua inglese) fu fondata intorno al 43 d.C. Fu utilizzato come un importante centro commerciale per l'impero romano fino al suo abbandono nel corso del V secolo.
Londinium, das heutige London, war die größte Stadt und Hauptstadt der römischen Provinz Britannien. Durch seine günstige Lage an der Themse, die wiederum einen guten Anschluss ans Meer und ins Hinterland bot, war Londinium auch ein bedeutendes Handelszentrum.
Die Geschichte von Londinium lässt sich aus wenigen verstreuten Erwähnungen bei antiken Autoren, anhand der allgemeinen Geschichte Britanniens und durch Ausgrabungen in der Stadt in groben Zügen rekonstruieren. Am Ende des dritten Jahrhunderts war sie sogar Residenz des Gegenkaisers Carausius und damit Hauptstadt eines Sonderreiches in Britannien. Als bedeutende römische Stadt hatte sie alle öffentlichen Gebäude einer solchen, wobei nur ein Teil von ihnen durch Ausgrabungen identifiziert werden konnte. Das große Forum im Zentrum der Stadt, der größte Bau seiner Art nördlich der Alpen, bezeugt die starke wirtschaftliche Position von Londinium. Dies wird auch durch die Reste zahlreicher Warenlager an den Ufern der Themse bestätigt.
Londinium var bosetningen som ble etablert på det nåværende stedet for City of London i tiden rundt år 43. Det er det romerske navnet på London fra denne tiden og til romernes tilbaketrekning fra de britiske øyer på 400-tallet. Dets bro over elven Themsen gjorde byen til et viktig veikryss og en betydelig havn, og fungerte som et betydelig kommersielt senter i romersk Britannia inntil romerne oppga stedet.
La cité de Londinium, à l'origine de la ville de Londres, capitale du Royaume-Uni, a été fondée par les Romains vers l’an 43. Elle devient rapidement la capitale de la Bretagne romaine et sert de grand centre impérial jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit finalement abandonnée au Ve siècle.
Londinium was de Latijnse naam voor de stad Londen. Het was de hoofdstad van de Romeinse provincie Britannia (globaal het huidige Engeland en Wales). Door een gunstige ligging aan de Theems, die op zijn beurt een goede verbinding met de zee en het achterland bezat, was Londinium ook een belangrijk handelscentrum.
Londinium (actual Londres) es el nombre que los romanos dieron a la ciudad que fundaron cerca de las aldeas celtas de Llyn Din, en Britania (actual Inglaterra). La ciudad fue construida en un sitio habitado por tribus aborígenes que llamaban Llyn Din al lugar (‘fortín del lago’). Aquellos celtas habían elegido el emplazamiento como sitio propicio para sus actividades comerciales. La ciudad fundada por los romanos es la actual Londres que con el paso de los años, acabó por absorber las pequeñas aldeas de las inmediaciones.
Londínio (em latim: Londinium) foi uma cidade fundada pelos romanos em meados do século I d.C., no território ocupado pela atual Londres, capital da Inglaterra. Rapidamente tornou-se a capital da Britânia romana, servindo como um dos principais centros comerciais imperiais até o seu abandono, durante o século V.
Лондиниум, Лондиний или Лондониум (лат. Londinium, ныне Лондон) — город в Римской Британии, основанный около 43 года н. э. Он был основным центром торговли и власти в Римской Британии с конца II века до её разгрома в V веке. Лондиниум располагался на реке Темзе, которая обеспечивала ему связь как с морем, так и с внутренними районами Британии.
倫蒂尼恩（又譯倫丁尼姆、朗蒂尼亞姆；拉丁文：Londinium），又稱羅馬倫敦，公元約43年建於今倫敦市一帶的聚居地。有賴泰晤士河上的橋樑，倫蒂尼恩發展為道路樞紐和主港口，是羅馬帝國不列顛尼亞行省的重要商業中心，及至5世紀衰亡。

Old Roman City Excavated Near St. Albans - 1930
Dr Mortimer Wheeler describes excavations at Verulam near St. Albans.
The Dr speaking with the workmen digging behind him. He stands on floor of Roman house. Workmen digging inside old Roman walls. Shot of ancient Roman goods. He speaks as he stands in the walls.Mortimer Wheelers says: We are standing on the site of the ancient city of Verulanium, the civic predessor of St Albans. Verulanium was a city for a century or more before London was heard of. I am standing now upon the floor of a principle room of a Roman house, the floor is covered with a decorated mosaic which with its bold use of primary colours surpasses most modern work. The walls of these Roman houses are built of flint and brick and probably carried a timbered superstructure like the walls of a medieval house. These men are digging into the floor of a Roman house to find the remains of earlier houses beneath it. As they dig they find Roman pottery and various other roman objects. This peice of pottery just found bears scratched upon it the name of its Roman owner a l b i n a, Albina. This is a cellar behind one of the shops overlooking one of the streets of Verulanium, very few Roman cellars have been found in this country, this is one of the finest ever discovered.

SUMMARY
=======
Londinium was a settlement established on the current site of the City of London around AD 43. Its bridge over the River Thames turned the city into a road nexus and major port, serving as a major commercial centre in Roman Britain until its abandonment during the 5th century.
Following its foundation in the mid-1st century, early Londinium occupied the relatively small area of 1.4 km2 (0.5 sq mi), roughly equivalent to the size of present-day Hyde Park, with a fortified garrison on one of its hills. In the year 60 or 61, the rebellion of the Iceni under Boudica forced the garrison to abandon the settlement, which was then razed. Following the Iceni's defeat at the Battle of Watling Street, the city was rebuilt as a planned Roman town and recovered within about a decade. During the later decades of the 1st century, Londinium expanded rapidly, becoming Great Britain's largest city. By the turn of the century, Londinium had grown to perhaps 30,000 or 60,000 people, almost certainly replacing Camulodunum (Colchester) as the provincial capital and by the mid-2nd century, Londinium was at its height. Its forum and basilica were one of the largest structures north of the Alps when the Emperor Hadrian visited Londinium in 122. Excavations have discovered evidence of a major fire that destroyed most of the city shortly thereafter, but the city was again rebuilt. By the second half of the 2nd century, Londinium appears to have shrunk in both size and population.
Although Londinium remained important for the rest of the Roman period, no further expansion resulted. Londinium supported a smaller but stable settlement population as archaeologists have found that much of the city after this date was covered in dark earth—the by-product of urban household waste, manure, ceramic tile, and non-farm debris of settlement occupation, which accumulated relatively undisturbed for centuries. Sometime between 190 and 225, the Romans built a defensive wall around the landward side of the city. Along with Hadrian's Wall and the road network, this wall was one of the largest construction projects carried out in Roman Britain. The London Wall survived for another 1,600 years and broadly defined the perimeter of the old City of London.
