PREVIEW: RUSSIA: BRITAIN Conversation with colleague Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft regarding how Russia could retaliate against Britain for Storm Shadow strikes inside Russia without risking Article 5. More details tonight. 1737 Londinium

In the early 5th century AD, after almost four centuries of iron-fisted Roman rule, the empire in Britain was beginning to fade. Franks, Saxons and Roman usurpers were running rampant. Britannia was on its last legs and in 410 AD, the Britons were told to ‘look to their own defences'.However the story of the fall of Roman Britain is far more complex than the traditional tale of swift Roman withdrawal. In today's episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Rob Collins and Dr James to journey from Londinium to Hadrians Wall and unpick the ultimate fate of Roman Britannia.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

The Story of London returns with England slipping into a huge war with Scotland (and Wales, oh and France) and the circumstances behind this. In London we see the circumstances behind the rising of Charing Cross (and its sister Cheapside Cross) and the city continue under the Wardens, but we also have Vikings (no, honestly, they still around), 4 year old Scottish queens, Gascony pirates, and why someone fortified the Savoy. All of this and more…

In this episode, which is the 3rd in Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he takes a look at one of the city's lesser-known bridges – Cannon Street Railway Bridge, one side of which was first built in a medieval steelyard, (not what you think it is). Danny also shares the connection between the oldest known monument in London, Alfred the Great, Shakespeare, candle-makers, and Oswald Mosely. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cannon Street was the first street to run through the City of London. The name Cannon Street has nothing to do with armaments. The area was especially important during Roman times. It is the site of the London Stone, which possibly dates back to Druid times. The London Stone is said by some to be the stone Arthur drew Excalibur from. The railway station hotel is where both the Congress of the Communist Party of Great Britain and the New Party, which became British Union of Fascists were founded. BEST MOMENTS ‘In Roman times, Cannon Street was the heart of ancient Londinium. ´ ‘London will flourish as long as the stone remains in the city.' ‘As a result, his head was mounted on London Bridge afterwards.'   EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.citybridgefoundation.org.uk/ HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

In this episode, which is the 2nd in Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories The Bridges of London Series, he looks at the incredibly long and surprising history of London Bridge. The bridge has been disappointing tourists for decades who are expecting to see the far more aesthetically pleasing Tower Bridge.  The history of London Bridge is the history of London itself, so you don´t want to miss this episode. Danny shares who built the first version, and why it was left to become a ruin, torn down, hit by a boat, burned down several times and was the site of a terrorist attack. He also looks at the origins of the famous children´s song and a nursery rhyme, while busting several London Bridge-related myths. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first bridges in the area were built in the bronze age. The Romans built the first proper London Bridge. That original bridge along with the city of Londinium became a ruin when the Romans left. The centre of the bridge was once the starting point for a pilgrimage. The great water wheels on the bridge that were used by firefighters failed during The Great Fire of London. Shooting the rapids that ran under an older version of the bridge was a popular sport. Severed heads were displayed on the bridge. The way the old bridge impacted the flow of water is why the Thames sometimes froze. The current bridge was opened on 17th March 1973. BEST MOMENTS ‘People come from all over the world to be disappointed by it. ´ ‘The 1970s was not the golden age of British architecture, or indeed the golden age of anything in Britain.' ‘The number of the bridge supports created dangerous rapids between the piers at high tide.'

London unter römischer Herrschaft: In ihrem Roman „Zuleika“ geht Bernadine Evaristo auf Zeitreise ins antike Londinium. Das Mädchen Zuleika – zugewandert aus dem Sudan – wird an einen fetten Römer verheiratet. „Zuleika“ ist ein Versepos, das die britische Autorin Bernadine Evaristo schon vor gut 20 Jahren schrieb und damals unter dem Titel „The Emperior's Babe“ veröffentlichte. Seit sie 2019 den Booker Prize erhielt, werden ihre Werke ins Deutsche übersetzt und auch bei uns entdeckt. Eine Rezension von Marie Schoeß

Eine Frau führt im Jahr 60 n.Chr. die Rebellion der Kelten gegen die römischen Besatzer in Britannien an. Boudicca feiert gibt erste Siege, das antike Londinium brennt - dann schlägt Rom zurück... Von Tobias Sauer.

In italiano alcune città estere vengono chiamate con il proprio nome originale (New York, San Francisco, Madrid...), mentre altre vengono tradotte (London --> Londra, Paris --> Parigi, New Delhi --> Nuova Delhi) e così via. Esiste una regola per sapere quali nomi tradurre e quali nomi lasciare invariati? Non proprio... In ogni caso... Facciamo chiarezza! I NOMI delle CITTÀ ESTERE in ITALIANO In questo articolo parleremo delle ragioni per cui i nomi di alcune città estere sono rimasti invariati e per quali motivi altri invece sono stati tradotti! Come dicevamo, non c'è una vera e propria regola che determina quali tradurre (e quali no), ma ci si basa su consuetudini legate a motivi storici o pratici. Ragioni principali per cui i nomi di alcune città sono stati tradotti: 1. Il Latino Prima di tutto, bisogna dire che l'italiano, insieme ad altre lingue romanze, ha chiaramente subito l'influenza del latino. Di conseguenza, ha ereditato in gran parte l'etimologia latina anche per i nomi delle città, che sono rimasti pressoché invariati nella forma finale.Ad esempio, la forma Lutetia Parisiorum (antico nome di Parigi nell'opera di Cesare Il De Bello Gallico) si è successivamente trasformata in Parigi: l'influenza è notevole, nonostante alcune modifiche a livello fonetico.Stessa cosa vale anche per Barcellona, che deriva dal latino Barcinone(m).Anche Londra era già nota ai latini come Londinium, anche se in questo caso l'adattamento italiano si è un po' allontanato dalla versione latina originale, probabilmente per come è stato con il tempo trasmesso oralmente dalle persone. 2. La storia più recente e il fascismo Cosa è successo invece nella storia più recente? In linea di massima, tutti i nomi di città e Paesi con cui l'Italia aveva avuto contatti nel corso della storia venivano adattati alle norme fono-morfologiche italiane. Questo perché nel passato non era comune l'idea di “apertura” alle lingue straniere, pochi le parlavano e quindi, quando bisognava menzionare delle città straniere (perché avevano relazioni con l'Italia), venivano tradotte o adattate, per renderle più comprensibili e pronunciabili dai parlanti madrelingua. Questa pratica è rimasta in vigore fino al Novecento, e in particolare si è rafforzata durante il periodo fascista con la sua forte impronta nazionalista. Nello specifico, a partire dal luglio del 1923, Mussolini aveva eliminato l'insegnamento bilingue nelle scuole slovene e aveva modificato la denominazione dei luoghi di gran parte del nord Italia, proprio per eliminare completamente le parole non italiane nei nomi di città, tra le altre cose. Per esempio, vocaboli come “film” (che divenne “pellicola”) o “sandwich” (che si trasformò in “tramezzino”) hanno subito la stessa sorte in quel periodo. Proprio per tutto questo, abbiamo situazioni come: Colonia ma Dortmund in Germania, Nizza ma Cannes in Francia, Edimburgo ma Glasgow in Scozia. Potete facilmente intuire, tra queste coppie, quale delle due avesse più rapporti con l'Italia. 3. Mancanza di caratteri In altri casi, si ricorre alla traduzione (o all'adattamento) a causa della mancanza di certi caratteri originali del nome straniero all'interno dell'alfabeto italiano. Questo è il caso del nome Copenaghen, ad esempio, che è un'adattamento di København. È evidente che, in questo caso, la ragione è la mancanza di certe lettere dell'alfabeto danese in italiano. Per questo motivo, si è adattata la forma danese alle esigenze italiane, pur senza allontanarsi troppo dalla forma originale. 4. L'inglese I toponimi (= nomi di luoghi) anglo-americani, invece, restano principalmente nella forma originale. Perché? Per varie ragioni… Sicuramente perché molte di loro sono state fondate abbastanza recentemente. E poi per via della sempre più grande diffusione dell'inglese in Italia. È il caso di città come Sydney, Washington, Chicago,

Londinium, dagens London, var huvudstaden i det romerska Britannien under större delen av det romerska imperiet. Det var ursprungligen en bosättning som etablerades runt 47–50 e.Kr, vid en viktig korsningspunkt över Themsen vilket gjorde staden till en vägförbindelse och en större hamn, som fungerade som ett stort kommersiellt centrum tills det övergavs under 500-talet e.v.t.I det här minisnittet går vi igenom Londiniums historia och fall. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"make sure you turn that slave girl into cash"

In 43 AD, the Romans set up temporary forts along the banks of a river to wait for their Emperor, Claudius, to march onto the enemy capital of Camulodunum (Colchester), and eventually conquer Britain. The river was the River Thames. At the time, it was an area of marshy low-lying land, mostly composed of little islands. A far cry from the wall enclaved mercantile seat of authority it would become.In today's episode, Tristan is joined by Professor Dominc Perring, Director of the UCL Centre for Applied Archaeology, to discuss what the archaeology and history can tell us about the rise and fall of Roman Britain's capital, Londinium.For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.

Samuel Johnson, considered England's greatest man of letters, famously said: “When a man is tired of London, he's tired of life.” London's fascinating history is one reason why.

Hidden away under the Bloomberg Building in the City of London lies the remains of the Roman Temple of Mithras, which you can visit. So what does that have to do with drinking? Our guest today is definitely the one to answer that question!  Francis Grew, one of the fantastic curators of the fabulous Museum of London, knows all about the Romans in London and more specifically what the Romans were drinking in London when it was known as Londinium. He's our guest today on this episode sponsored by the City of London. Did you know the City of London is just one square mile and forms the oldest part of London and was founded by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago? And already back then, it was a major trading port with goods including wine coming from all over Europe – how little the change! It even has its own mayor, the Lord Mayor, and government and is run independently from London?  The City has so many things to see and do, before and after work, from quirky independent cafes to internationally-renowned cultural institutions, world-class modern architecture to historic heritage sites. From high-end shopping to vintage stalls,  from street food to Michelin-star restaurants, and of course, from small boozers to glitzy wine and cocktail bars, there is a little bit of everything for everyone. The City of London today is a vibrant part of London with its own unique atmosphere, culture, and history just waiting to be re-discovered, but let's head back in time with Francis to when the Romans ruled the roost! The “Square Smile '' campaign is designed to raise awareness of the benefits of returning to the City of London and face-to-face interaction as firms increasingly give their staff more flexibility on where they locate through hybrid working. It showcases the City's vibrant offerings – ranging from world-class culture, heritage, cuisine, entertainment, retail, architecture, BARS, and so much more. Visit http://www.squaresmile.london/ (www.squaresmile.london) for great ideas of places to visit, to see, discover, and drink.   Francis's favorite cocktail is the Old fashioned, but we're going to mirror the Romans. They brought wine to London from afar just like  The City of London Distillery makes their Old Fashioned by using a Blackpool-born sweet mash and sweets that might be popular here but were created elsewhere first!   Our cocktail of the week is the City of London Distillery's Werther's Original Bankhall Old Fashioned: INGREDIENTS  50 ml Bankhall Sweet Mash 10 ml Werther's Original Sugar Syrup 1 dash Angostura Bitters Garnish: Orange Zest METHOD Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass Add ice Stir, stir, stir Strain into rocks glass with one gorgeous piece of ice Garnish with the orange zest To make the Werther's Original Syrup - you need 100 ml of water and 10 candies. Just add the water and candy to a pot and heat it over the stove. When the candies have melted, you have Werther's Syrup!

Londinium was a significant city in the Roman empire, as it was the hub of activity and the capital of the province of Britannia. It was built on the bank of the River Thames and became the largest city in Roman Britain. Guest: Dr Dominic Perring (Director of the Centre for Applied Archaeology at University College London).

London began its life as Old Londinium—an informal trading community that sprang up around the narrowest point in the Thames, and was burned to the ground by Boudicca's army just decades after its founding. This week, we asked bestselling urban fantasy author Ben Aaronovitch to take us on a tour of Old Londinium—say, the day before Boudicca's arrival. Join us as we explore the streets and rivers of this diverse and enterprising trading town, and then wander all the way up Watling Street to Hadrian's Wall.   Get ad-free episodes here: https://www.patreon.com/ancienthistoryfangirl Learn more about your ad choices.
