Game Changing Roman Artifacts

Archeologists have found more than 400 handwritten wooden tablets at a construction site that detail Roman life in London as early as 56 AD much earlier than previous theories.  Finds suggest a more developed society than expected, incluing buisness transactions, evidence of schooling and the oldest reference to London as London.


Researchers believe this tablet, is the earliest ever reference to London predating Tacitus' mention of London in his Annals which were produced about 50 years later.  Itt reads "Londinio Mogontio" which translates to "'In London, to Mogontius".
