London: The Making of a City - Region 0

The Romans,who conquered the indigenous Bronze-Age Celts when they arrived in A.D. 43, did not conquer Londinium; they created it as a base for conquering England. The program covers the founding of the city on the shores of the river whose name in Celtic means "Bright Water"; shows us the remains of Roman London, the theater at St. Albans, and such analogues as the baths at Bath; tells of the departure of the Roman legions and the arrival of the barbarians and their record in place names; and covers the building of Westminister Cathedral and the rival of William - London's last conqueror.
