Roman London

The Roman gallery sketches the history of Londinium from its founding to the final withdrawal of central authority in AD 410. Beads, board games, saucepans, skeletons, armour, shoes, an original mosaic and other everyday objects on display reveal the way Roman Londoners lived.

National Curriculum themes addressed include Roman invasion, conquest and settlement, the building of roads, villas and the town of Londinium. Pupils can learn about everyday life for Roman Londoners, what they ate, their religious beliefs, their jobs, soldiers' tasks and entertainment.
