💨 Abstract

A Roman basilica, where London was governed 2,000 years ago, was discovered beneath an office block in the City of London. A Roman history enthusiast working in the building was surprised to find herself above the ancient site. The basilica, established under Roman emperor Titus, was a significant political and economic center, and its excavation has uncovered sections of stone walls and a forecourt.
