Reading - Чтение The Story of London История Лондона There were some small settlements all along the River Thames before the Roman invasion. But most historians say that London was founded by the Romans. Britain remained a Roman colony for over 400 years. During that time the Romans built a lot of fortifications. Some big roads were built to link London with other Roman settlements. In AD 61 there was a big rebellion against Roman rule. It was headed by Queen Boudicca. London and some other settlements were razed to the ground by the rebels. They were defeated and Boudicca poisoned herself. She did not want to be captured by the Romans. London was rebuilt and in the 2nd century a wall was erected to protect the inhabitants. A few centuries later London became the fifth largest city in Europe.
