THE ORIGINS OF THE CITY
The founding of London dates back to soon after the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43.. The Romans saw the strategic importance of the area and chose to build a settlement at a suitable crossing point on the Thames. The new town was called Londinium. During their 400-year rule, the Romans made London the financial centre of the country. In 288, Carausius declared himself emperor of Britain and, keen to prove Britain's independence from Roman, established the first London Mint, which for continued for around 30 years.
