Sunday 22nd January 11.30am Exit 2 St Pauls Underground Station
 

An exploration of what happened at the end of the Roman Period, and how the City became deserted, and then, reborn as an English City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The first British Brexit?\u00a0\u00a0 The Roman Britons kicked out the Romans in 407AD, and, soon, asked them to come back after a catastrophic collapse.\u00a0 Faced with plague, civil war, invasion, mass\u00a0immigration,\u00a0 industrial decline, reversion to barter; the authorities struggled against anarchy and descent into a dark age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But was that how it was?  Wasn’t it a rather a transition into the Late Antique period in which life for most people went on much as before except paying taxes to local rulers rather than distant Romans?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk investigates why the Roman system in London broke down, and what really was the impact of the end of the Roman system in London? What is the evidence?  and can we trust it? Or can we really do nothing much more than guess? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tramp the streets of London in search of light to shine on the dark age of London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a London Walks event <\/a>by Kevin Flude, ex Museum of London Archaeology and Museum Curator<\/p>\n\n\n\n
