Ancient Roman Discovery in London

Archaeologists have made an exciting discovery in London's financial district. They found parts of an ancient Roman basilica, which is almost 2,000 years old. This building was like a town hall in Roman times.

The discovery happened when workers were demolishing an old commercial building. Experts from the Museum of London Archaeology helped with the excavation. They found thick stone walls that were part of the basilica.

The basilica was a very important building in Roman towns. It was where leaders made decisions, courts were held, and merchants did business. Finding this building helps us understand more about London's long history. It's amazing that such an old structure survived in an area that has been rebuilt many times over the centuries.
