Civilised London vs 2023 London lol
Londinium vs London
Both are equally smelly and dirty.

Is there a sub for these sorts of comparisons?
Thats cool they had photography back in 120
Where did the hills go?
Roman empire must have had DJI mini 3 Drone.
Roman one seems much friendlier place to visit
🎸A brave new woooorld 🎸
good old days when we were following news about that Hadrian Wall project being implemented, ehh only 120’s AD kids will understand…
Interesting trivia about London, we have no idea where the name came from (other than obviously Londinium). There are dozens of modern theories, but they essentially all boil down to ‘this old word sounds a bit like London, so maybe thats it’.
Some believe it might have come from the original pre-Roman settlement that we know nothing about, but we have absolutely no fucking idea.
Fun factors. London is made from city of London in border very similar to theÂ
Roman Londinium and the greater London. legally those are very separate thingsÂ
Imagine england with a romance mother tongue.
Good old times
How did they take a photo from that height in 120 AD?
Do any structures or shapes remain?
That bit that looks like a tributary beyond and to the left of the bridge, is that the marshland of present day Waterloo/Southwark?
Good quality photo for 120 A.D
I assume it’s recently colourised?
LIkehood of getting stabbed kept the same
Can’t have anything nice! “We” gave you a *pearl* ! But hey Barry, you know what it’s said about pearls and (actual) pigs…smh, and my head too!
Looked quite nice back then
Now it’s a complete and utter crime ridden, filthy, cesspit
Ok
Everytime I see (Roman) London, it comes to my mind that Thessaloniki used to be the “London” of the byzantine empire and I don’t know how to deal with how irrelevant Thessaloniki has become 😔
