-London was sourrounded by a great wall: today we can see some remains of that wall.
-The wall was about 20 ft high and up to 9 ft thick.
-Riven Thames was different than the one we can see today. It is much lower than the one of the Roman period.
-Roman built a bridge across the river Thames: that's why they could live near the river.
