"Ah, Julius Caesar, Thou art mighty, yet."

Southwark and Shakespeare's Globe bump.

The marble is 2000 years old. The inscription could be 20 years old.

"...the importance of the man who [in] Rome would have been treated as a yokel but who had made it in London"

From Rome to England, from England to America...the story of our struggle for freedom and individual expression! What an exciting and fascinating discovery, and thank God they got to this before the "housing project" covered it up for another couple hundred years

[Fides et Ratio]

"'This is hugely important,' Francis Grew, curator of archaeology at the Museum of London told reporters. 'It is the first real monumental inscription with the word Londinium on it.'"

Londinium? Quick, someone call Venerable Ireland Yard!

Can Lord Marmaduke Fogg and Lady Penelope Pea Soup be far behind?
