Description: | A view in ink of part of the Roman wall of Verulam (Verulamium) near St Alban's in Hertfordshire. Verulamium was settled by the Romans in AD50 and destroyed by Queen Boudicca (Bodicea) in AD61. The Romans stayed on and rebuilt the town. A catastrophic fire laid waste to most of it in 155. By 275, Verulamium spanned 82 hectares, surrounded by a wall. This would form the basis of the modern town of Lincoln when the Romans finally withdrew around 450. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
