• Londinium III - Roman London´s Amphitheatre

  Welcome to the final episode of our Londinium miniseries, where we consider Minerva, make-up and mixing bowls...In June 2025 we visited Roman London´s Amphitheatre at Guildhall Yard. It´s a great place to lose yourself in for an hour or so - you can wander around the remains of the amphitheatre itself (unearthed in 1988), and view the artefacts found there during the excavations of the 1980s and 90s. We share our favourites with you here - follow the photos on our socials or website: https://www.sistoryhistory.co.uk/post/photos-for-miniseries-londinium-iii-roman-london-s-amphitheatreIf you´re inspired to visit, all you need to know is here: Visit London's Roman Amphitheatre | City of LondonIf you enjoy the episode, you might enjoy these too:Internet Archaeol. 42.

  Welcome to episode 2 of our Londinium miniseries, in which we bring you lovely lamps and sensuous scents! In May 2025 we visited the Crypt Museum at All Hallows Church by the Tower, to find out what it can tell us about Roman London. It´s a small but beautifully formed museum that houses some excellent artefacts from the period, as well as Saxon and 16th century finds.

• Londinium I - The Temple of Mithras

  Welcome to episode 1 of our Londinium miniseries! Where we consider the practicalities of naked initiation ceremonies, and Caroline delights us with her extensive collection of key facts... (Did you know that some Roman keys could fold up? And some were designed to break after one use!?!). In April 2025 we visited the London Mithraeum to explore the excellent exhibition space and peruse the artefacts currently on display. The excavation of 2012-2014 yielded a huge array of over 14,000 finds, about 600 of which have been beautifully curated for visitors to enjoy. Here, we talk you through our favourites.If you´d like to visit the London Mithraeum or find out more about the excavations, then try these links:London MithraeumLost rivers: The Walbrook | London MuseumWalbrook Discovery Programme | Explore and engage with MOLA's current archaeological findings along the banks of the City of London's hidden river the Walbrook10 Facts About The Secret Roman Cult of Mithras | History HitMusic credit goes to our resident composer Alice Morgan, (you can find Alice on Instagram - missalicekeys).Finally, if you like what you hear then don´t be shy!
