Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of London through the lens of its maps, revealing the city's evolution from ancient Celtic settlements to a bustling Roman metropolis and beyond. The author meticulously examines archaeological evidence and historical records, tracing the footprints of Celtic pile dwellings, the imposing Roman walls, and the sprawling territorium that once defined the city's limits. You'll discover how the city's layout, street patterns, and even modern boundaries still bear the legacy of Roman planning. The narrative then shifts to Anglo-Saxon London, exploring the village communities and their unique landholding systems, evidenced by the "acre strips" that shaped the landscape. Through insightful interpretations of maps from different eras, the author reconstructs the vibrant tapestry of London's past, offering a glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants and the forces that molded the city we know today.
