For over a hundred years people had searched for the Roman amphitheatre
of London. In 1988, during a dig at the City's medieval Guildhall, the
astonishing discovery was made. The curving stone walls of the arena and
timber beams for the seating tiers confirmed that the gladiators' place
of spectacle - lost for over 1500 years - had finally been found. This
popular book about London's Roman amphitheatre is now available in a new
updated edition.
