Happy Friday! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A great map of London during Roman London. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Urbium Londini et WEST-Monasterii nec non Duburbii Soutwrk accurata Ichnographia.usque ad A.1736. A beautiful reproduction plan of London, extending from Grosvenor Square in the west to Mile En to the east, decorative title cartouche, (in Latin and German), skillfully engraved vignettes depicting St.Paul’s, St. James’s Square. The Custom House and the Royal Exchange. The City of London is highlighted in colour, as are Westminster and Southwark. Diverse, busy river traffic is well engraved upon The Thames, denoting its prime importance to the city, a fact backed up by a vignette of The Customs House. To the title’s right is a key giving the German translation of English terms used upon the plan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The name Londīnium is thought to be pre-Roman (and possibly pre-Celtic) in origin, but there is no consensus on what it means. ... A common theory is that it derives from a hypothetical Celtic placename *Londinion which was probably derived from the personal name *Londinos, from the word *lond (“wild”). When did Londinium become London? Londinium was founded by the Romans in AD 47 (or 47 CE) on the banks of the Thames roughly where the current square mile 'City of London' is located. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What is the oldest city in the world? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳Old Maps Library specialises in the reprint of Vintage Maps and Illustrations between the 17th to 19th centuries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏳ We have a beautiful collection of Old Maps and Vintage Illustrations on our website.
