Archaeology
Pottery vessels, however, can survive without harm coming to them, except that they were often thrown away because they had been broken.They clean the objects, X-ray and treat them if they need it - a bit like doctors in a hospital. The objects are then carefully packed into plastic boxes oR bags.
Queen Boudicca
Some skulls found in Roman London may have come from people killed at the time of the Boudican revolt
The British tribes stopped to celebrate and spent time looting rather than continuing to advance. This gave time for the governor to reach London with a small force of cavalry but there were not enough to defend London and he evacuated all those Londoners left and they headed towards St Albans along Watling Street. The British tribes spent several days in London burning the buildings and killing anyone who was left, mainly the elderly and sick.
G ladiators
They trained in gladiator schools and were owned by the trainer (lanista). Places like Rome had resident troupes of gladiators but a number of touring bands travelled round the Empire and it would have been a very special event when the gladiators came to Roman London.
