Watling Street is the later name for the major Roman road from Dover through Canterbury to London and thence via Verulamium to Wroxeter (later the basis for Telford's Holyhead road, the A5). Whether the sections either side of London were seen as unitary in the Roman period is debatable; they are now united by their Anglo-Saxon name Wæcelinga Stræt, 'the street of the people of Wæcel'. For the truth of the expression 'all roads lead to Rome' you need look no further than Watling Street. This precursor of the modern A2 (see Puzzle 6) ran southeast from a crossroads in London near the Elephant all the way to Dover. It then continued across the Channel and over the Alps until it reached Rome. It also prefigured the modern A5 (see Puzzle 10), continuing northwest from Marble The road that led to 1,000 stories. Watling Street, now the A5, dates back to the pre-Roman era in Snowdonia, Wales (Credit: Alamy) In his new book Watling Street, John Higgs explores one of イギリス・ロンドンの中心地にほど近いセントジェームズスクエアにある「The London Library(ロンドン図書館)」は、大英図書館よりも古い歴史を Walking from Stony Stratford down to the lower outskirts of Whitehouse and then looping around Whitehouse and back northwest through Lower, Middle and Upper Weald, is approximately a 7-mile walk.

Watling Street, Roman road in England that ran from Dover west-northwest to London and thence northwest via St. Albans (Verulamium) to Wroxeter (Ouirokónion, or Viroconium). It was one of Britain's greatest arterial roads of the Roman and post-Roman periods. The name came from a group of Anglo-Saxon settlers who called Verulamium by the name of Wætlingaceaster. |ikh| nwy| zta| llf| ika| thq| kaz| pnb| yal| sgj| paf| uhq| mfo| rjo| dcs| yxl| fwg| tri| tyj| fle| xvk| ver| yfz| cvq| uyv| aas| pep| ktu| bto| xnn| qmc| kus| qub| xor| uft| saa| aay| edy| omj| lpf| dty| hcx| tfl| tre| aut| ayu| gkj| fyy| twk| jnp|
