The Tale of Two Cities, Exeter and London by Peter Marsden

About this event

London and Exeter are two important cities founded by the Romans almost 2000 years ago, one as the capital of the Roman province of Britain, and the other the tribal capital of the regional native British Dumnonii. Archaeological exploration shows that they shared much but had important differences. Both were deserted at the end of Roman times soon after AD 400, and both were re-established by the Saxons – possibly in different ways. Peter compares the first thousand years of the history of the two cities with fascinating results.
