A surviving fragment of the original 3rd-century Roman Wall in Cooper's Row near.Although the exact reason for the wall's construction is unknown, the wall appears to have been built in the late 2nd or early 3rd century. This was around 80 years after the construction of the city's fort in 120 AD, whose north and west walls were thickened and doubled in height to form part of the new city wall. It continued to be developed until at least the end of the 4th century, making it among the last major building projects undertaken by the before the in 410. Reasons for its construction may have been connected to the invasion of northern Britain by who overran in the 180s. It may be linked to the political crisis that emerged in late 2nd century when the governor of Britain was consolidating his power after claiming the right of succession as. After a struggle with his rival, Albinus was defeated in 197 AD at the (near, France).

There were also posterns at and at, at the wall's junction with the moat of the.The length and size of the wall made it one of the biggest construction projects in Roman Britain. The completed wall, which had gateways, towers and defensive ditches, was built from, which was brought by barge from quarries near. It was 2 mi (3.2 km) long enclosing an area of about 330 acres (130 ha).
It was 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) to 3 m (9.8 ft) wide and up to 6 m (20 ft)) high. The ditch or fossa in front of the outer wall was 2 m (6 ft 7 in) deep and up to 5 m (16 ft) wide. There were at least 22 towers spaced about 64 m (210 ft) apart on the eastern section of the wall.After Londinium was raided on several occasions by in the late 3rd century, construction of an additional riverside wall began in 280 AD. And repaired around 390 AD.
The existence of a riverside section of wall was long doubted due to a lack of evidence, but excavations at the Tower of London in 1977 showed that the section of the inner curtain wall between the Lanthorne and Wakefield Towers was originally the eastern part of the Roman riverside wall. Post-Roman use. Bastion, which is near the, stands on Roman foundations with an upper structure of 13th-century masonry.With the collapse of the, Londinium ceased to be the capital of although Romano-British culture continued in the area until around 450. However, the defences must have retained some of their former formidable strength because the mentions that the Romano-British retreated back to London after their bloody defeat at the (, Kent) at the hands of, leaders of the Saxon invaders.From around 500, an settlement known as developed in the same area slightly to the west of the old abandoned Roman city. By about 680, London had revived sufficiently to become a major Saxon port.
However, the upkeep of the wall was not maintained and London fell victim to two successful Viking assaults in 851 and 886 AD.In 886 AD the west-, formally agreed to the terms of the, concerning the area of political and geographical control that had been acquired by the incursion of the Vikings. Within the eastern and northern part of England, with its boundary roughly stretching from London to, the Scandinavians would establish.
In the same year, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recorded that London was 'refounded' by Alfred. Archaeological research shows that this involved abandonment of Lundenwic and a revival of life and trade within the old Roman walls. This was part Alfred's policy of building an in-depth defence of the against the Vikings as well as creating an offensive strategy against the Vikings who controlled.
The of was also created on the southbank of the River Thames during this time.The city walls of London were repaired as the city slowly grew until about 950 when urban activity increased dramatically. A large Viking army that attacked the London burgh was defeated in 994. Medieval period.

Had previously been the capital of Anglo-Saxon England, but from this time on, London became the main forum for foreign traders and the base for defence in time of war. In the view of: 'It had the resources, and it was rapidly developing the dignity and the political self-consciousness appropriate to a national capital.' The size and importance of London led to the redevelopment of the city's defences. During the early medieval period – following the – the walls underwent substantial work that included, additional gates and further towers and bastions. Aside from the seven City Wall gates and the four bars, there are the 13 water-gates on the Thames where goods were unloaded from ships.
These include Billingsgate and Bridge Gate. Additionally there were pedestrian-only gates such as Tower Gate and the at the.As London continued to grow throughout the medieval period, urban development grew beyond the city walls. This expansion led to the suffix words 'Without' and 'Within' which denote whether an area of – and usually applied to the – fell outside or within the London Wall, though only and (formerly) have been split into separate wards this way (Bridge Without falling beyond the gates on ). Some wards –, and – cover an area that was both within and outside the wall and, although not split into separate wards, often the part (or ') within the Wall is denoted (on maps, in documents, etc.) as being 'within' and the part outside the Wall as being 'without'. Archaically 'Infra' (within) and 'Extra' (without) were also used and the terms 'intramural' and 'extramural' are also used to describe being within or outside the walled part of the city.The suffix is applied to some churches and parishes near the city gateways such as or.Demise.

The city's jurisdiction expanded westwards, crossing the historic western border of the original settlement – the – along to. The city also took in the other 'city bars', toll gates which were situated just beyond the old walled area:,. These were the important entrances to the city and their control was vital in maintaining the city's special privileges over certain trades.During the in September 1666, almost all of the medieval inside the wall was destroyed.
The seven gates to the City of London, with many repairs and rebuilding over the years, stood until they were all demolished between 1760 and 1767. Work to demolish the walls continued into the 19th century; however, large sections of the wall were incorporated into other structures. Some of the noticeable ruins in the bomb-damaged City during in the were remnants of London's city wall.All that remains of the wall are a few (albeit substantial) sections, some of which can be seen in the grounds of the, in the and around. A section near the was revealed at Noble Street, after the devastation of an air raid on 29 December 1940 at the height of. Another visible section is at, and other sections form part of the walls or foundations of modern buildings and are only visible from inside those buildings. One of the largest and most readily accessed fragments of the wall stands just outside, with a replica statue of the Emperor standing in front of it.In 1984 the Museum of London set up a Wall Walk from the Tower of London to the museum, using 23 tiled panels. A number of these have been destroyed in subsequent years.
At Noble Street, the panels were replaced by etched glass panels. These were intended as a prototype for new panels along the entire walk, but no further replacements have been made.Modern course. The modern (post-1976) road named London WallPart of the route originally taken by the northern wall is commemorated, although now only loosely followed, by the road also named London Wall, on which the Museum of London is located. The modern road starts in the west with the Rotunda junction at, then runs east past, from which point it runs parallel to the line of the City Wall, and eventually becomes before it reaches.
This alignment, however, is the result of rebuilding between 1957 and 1976. Before this, London Wall was narrower, and ran behind the line of the City Wall for its entire length, from Wormwood Street to Wood Street. The western section is now St Alphage Garden.The wall's moat forms the street of.
This was once London's main rubbish disposal site and was notorious for its appalling odour; its name, according to the 16th-century historian, was derived 'from that in old time, when the same lay open, much filth (conveyed forth of the City) especially dead dogges were there laid or cast'. The moat was finally covered over and filled in at the end of the 16th century becoming the line of the aforementioned street. Ross & Clark 2008, p. Channel 4. ^ Ross & Clark 2008, p.47.

On the left is ( figure) standing behind the wheel, manning it, with Ixion already tied to it. Sits at Mercury's feet; a Roman fresco from the eastern wall of the in the, (60-79 AD).Roman wall paintings are unique pieces of art that have been found in private homes in many different Roman cities, along with the countryside in Italy.
The paintings were used to brighten a room since most of the houses were naturally very dark. There are four main styles of Roman wall painting that have been found: Incrustation, architectural, ornamental, and intricate. Each style is unique, but each style following the first, contains aspects of each style previous to it. Any original paintings were created before the eruption of. The first two styles (incrustation and architectural) were a part of the Republican period (related to wall painting) and the last two styles (ornamental and intricate) were a part of the Imperial period. Contents.History In the first century BC, Roman walls were decorated with different paintings. These paintings ranged from being realistic to impressionist works of art.
Inspiration came from mythology, landscapes, and other interests. Typically, paintings were created on plaster that had pigments added to them while they were drying, also known as frescoes. Were made of one to three coats of mortar along with one to three coats of lime mixed with marble.
Many of the paintings that have been discovered today have been found around the Bay of Naples, the area in which Mount Vesuvius had erupted. The paintings have contained depictions of life in this area prior to the great eruption that destroyed much of the countryside and the cities of and.Wall paintings were not only used for decorations, but also for other important functions around the house, such as a guide for guests and a social orientation for the public.
The areas in which the paintings decorated the walls were meant for guests to follow and the walls that contained little to no paintings were meant for the servants to use to get around the house. The type of paintings and resources used to complete the paintings indicated the social status of the household. First Style: Incrustation. Roman cubiculum, dated 50 BC, from, Insula I, Domus 2, Spain (then part of the of )From 200 to 60 BC, the style of incrustation was used in Roman wall paintings.
This style consists of the wall containing colorful patches of blocks that resembled marble walls. The marble-like look was acquired by the use of stucco moldings, which caused portions of the wall to appear raised. The more wealthy Romans painted their walls using a variety of colors, but those who were not as wealthy mainly used variations of the colors yellow, purple, and pink. This style was very colorful and simple, but it was also seen as claustrophobic to some people. A couple examples of this style can be found in Pompeii at the House of Faun and the. Second Style: Architectural. Holding a (left); and a sitting on a rock, nursing a goat (centre); woman with coat (right).
Fresco from the, Italy, c. 50 BCThis style was first seen from about 80 BC to the end of the first century BC. The second style incorporated aspects from the first style, such as the marble blocks. The blocks were typically lined along the base of the wall and the actual picture was created on flat plaster. However, many paintings from this style involved illusions of imaginary scenes. Painters wanted to give off the illusion that the viewer was looking through a window at the scenery depicted. They also added objects that are commonly seen in real life such as vases and shelves along with items that appeared to be sticking out of the wall.
This style was intended for viewers to feel as though the actions in the painting were taking place around them.Third Style: Ornamental Dating from 20 BC to 20 AD, the third style based their painting on the second style, architectural. However, painters that used the ornamental style made use of the flat surfaces of the wall. The walls could be divided into different sections or frames, with each section painted a different color. In this particular style, more wall space is left plainly colored, with no design. When designs were present, they tended to be small, plain pictures or scenes such as a candelabra or fluted appendages. Black, red, and yellow continued to be used throughout this period, but the use of green and blue became more prominent than in previous styles. Most of these paintings had very little extra designs added to them, so many critics claimed that they had no meaning and were therefore worthless.
Painters that used this technique found it easy to change the paintings due to the lack of design. Also, only a portion of the wall could be changed instead of re-painting the entire wall. The House of Lucretius contains examples of the third style of wall painting.Fourth Style: Intricate. ' surrender of to, from the in, fresco, 1st century AD, now in theThis style was prominent from 20 AD to 79 AD, the year that Mount Vesuvius erupted.
It is best known as a combination of the three previous styles using the blocks from the first style, architectural scenes from the second style, and large patches of color from the third style. Instead of directly using the aspects from the previous styles, the intricate style added a new spin to each of the styles that were used. Intricate paintings appeared busier and used the wall in its entirety to be complete.
Large central panels were used to display a certain picture. A combination of themes were painted in these pictures, including mythology, landscapes, and other images. The House of Vetti contains examples of the fourth style and can still be found in Pompeii today.Post-eruption Painting All four styles of wall painting were developed prior to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Although many examples of Roman wall painting were able to be preserved from the eruption, no new styles of wall painting developed after the incident. People continue to decorate their homes with these paintings, but there were never any new styles that developed, instead, a combination of the four styles was used among painters.

Improvements were made to the techniques such as a sheet of lead being added to the base of the wall in order to prevent moisture from destroying the art and using a marble powder to produce a shinier surface. References.
