Thanks for having me gals! I had so much fun exploring with you :)

[@RomanFound]

Any time Katie!! 🙌 Need to plan another one! 😉🤎

[@MariMoore-nc2cg]

Now I can tell the people of colchester that they are lying there’s no pictures in my adult coloring book and In 6 grade I learned London was first 😊😊

[@docneuro4500]

Lovely tour, ladies. Thank you for taking us along. The grave of the Roman girl is very special. She was loved, buried, and then forgotten for centuries. Very heart warming that she now has a proper memorial. Although her name is forgotten, her presence in that spot will now be remembered in perpetuity.

[@RomanFound]

Thank you 🙏 such touching words, it was a very special moment in the tour, especially as the sun was setting it was very atmospheric. Never forgotten 🤎

[@wtheron91]

Brilliant! Saved quite a few bookmarks on my map for when I visit London again, thanks. Subscribed!

[@lorassorkin]

I'm loving this tour! I so appreciate being able to see these Roman city remains from across the pond. If I ever get back to London, this video will serve as a guide of must-see locations.

[@RomanFound]

Glad it’s been really helpful for you!! We also have a second video which has even more sites from London! 🤎

[@lessismore4470]

Thanks, girls. Greetings from Poland.

[@RomanFound]

Thanks so much!!! 🤎

[@gregbiggs7564]

Really Really Brilliant!! I've been to London twice but didn't really see the Roman bit....would love to come back and see all of this as well!!!! Just very very good y'all!!!! Merry 2024

[@RomanFound]

Something to look forward to on your next trip Greg!! We’ve been so many times but it not until you start hunting for the Roman history that you realise it’s everywhere! But have never noticed it before 😂

[@KernowekTim]

London! Ugh! You two ladies are brave. As a proper countryman I loathe it, or anywhere like it. It made me almost panic when i first went there in the '80s. Mind you. I spect the majority of people born in 'the smoke' would be similar if they had to kip in a forest with foxes, deer and boar. Each to their own. I really enjoyed this video, as I do all your videos. Safer from my chair than walking around in that hell-hole! What a big whimp eh. Former tin miner and all that🤣. Boudica had the right idea😉.

[@RomanFound]

😂 Laughing about your Boudicca reference 🤣 We always feel completely wiped out by the end of a London trip! It’s full on!! But quite enjoy the Tube! 🚇

[@jasonjenson3174]

Thoroughly enjoyed this while I plugged away at work. Great editing and narration!

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

What a brilliant start to the new year hope your week is goingwell all the family are all well 👍 from your brother tezza 😊😊😊😊😊

[@RomanFound]

Happy New Year!! Thank you Tezza! Hope you are doing well too! 🎉🤎

[@ninas992]

Thank you for the excellent tour! I was in London October 2023 and "walked the wall" from the Tower to the currently closed Museum of London; I totally agree that a visit to All Hallows by the Tower should be included-I visited the church on an earlier visit-I picked up some "extras" to visit on my next trip to London. I loved Salter's Garden and the cafe there was lovely with great food.

[@RomanFound]

Thank you for watching! Sounds like you’ve been able to visit a lot of sites in London! All Hallows was definitely a highlight for us too 🤓 We still haven’t been able to get to the bath house, that’s still on our to do list 😂🤎

[@momcatwoo]

MORE TOURS PLEASE! And um…if a middle-aged historian wanted to visit and hire you to show her all these sites, would you be amenable? #curiousyank

[@RomanFound]

Help us pick the next location!! It’s definitely something we might consider in the near future! If there’s enough interest 🤓🤎

[@charlesperez9976]

I just read your latest newsletter,and I must concede to the majority,it sounds like Bath is your next hotspot! But here’s the thing that blew my mind: There are Roman LIGHTHOUSES over there??? That’s amazing.

[@MsCheesemonster13]

I really loved this. If I have to choose a favourite site from those mentioned in this video it would be the Roman piling by the Church of St Magnus the Martyr because it is a rare and significant find, and because it was near the old entrance to the city. Now I will have to check out your other video on Roman Londinium. 😊👍

[@dianesampson5660]

Amazing thank you so much.Beautiful the young girls grave so moving sent shiver through me .

[@Dragonfly-LazyDynamite]

Stumbled across your video. Since I love ancient history I appreciate it. Excellent work! Thank you for taking the time to share all of this history and to share your love and appreciation of it. ❤ 😊 You have another subscriber. 👋🏼🇨🇦✌🏼🙏🏼🥰

[@RomanFound]

Thank you so much for the sub!! We’ve really enjoyed putting this series together, glad you enjoy it too! 🥰🤎

[@ausfox8794]

Thank you for an truly informative video. I’ve seen so little of my Mother country. These videos help me unlock its history.

[@RomanFound]

So glad you enjoyed the tour!! We’ve really enjoyed uncovering it’s history too! 🤎

[@cijmo]

Thank you for this tour. I love Roman London and always walk through The City when I'm there. I didn't know about the girl buried by The Gherkin. I will stop and pay my respects next time.

[@ashleigh2491]

Very interesting . I’ve never been to the home country . So, thanks for taking me there

[@RomanFound]

Thank you!! Hope you get to make the trip over one day! 🙏

[@lisascenic]

I think I enjoyed seeing the museum of the church of all hallows by the tower. The wooden coliseum drains were impressive as well.

[@RomanFound]

It was such a hidden gem!! We got to see some brilliant artefacts 😍

[@sakkayaditthi4542]

Thank you again for sharing Londonium. ❤ from Penang.

[@RomanFound]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! 🥰🤎

[@frithkin]

This is so cool ..Thank you so much for sharing your exploration

[@mirkatu3249]

Thank you for all your research and sharing London's Roman history. Those wooden drains are amazing, I'm so glad they were saved and put on display! Fun collab with HelpfulHistory, hope you go to Bath with her. :-)

[@RomanFound]

Thank you we still can’t believe how much Roman history there is to see in London! Bath is definitely on the to do list!! Hopefully sooner rather than later! 😂

[@66DMJC]

Rochester, Canterbury or maybe Pevensey castle. They're way away for you however. The latter I have learnt has produced a sword and an axe last Summer from magnet fishing close to where the Old shoreline ran. Nice combo there, enjoyed your tour.

[@RomanFound]

We will certainly look up all those places!! 😮 Wow! Would be amazing to tie in dig 💪

[@TheWrightLifeTravelChannel]

Fantastic tour! Thank you!

[@RomanFound]

Thank you for watching! We appreciate the lovely feedback!! 🙏🤎

[@tiffinyharrington9307]

Rather fascinating and very well done.

[@RomanFound]

Thank you Tiffany! Really appreciate it 🙏

[@guyhummel2847]

Very cool! Thank you!😊

[@RomanFound]

Thanks Guy!! 🙏🤎

[@northlondonlass1498]

I’ve never heard of the unknown Roman Girl, you’ve inspired my next adventure to go seek her out. New subscriber here and love your history delivery.

[@RomanFound]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel 🤎

[@wilkster647]

So many hidden things for me to explore next time I'm in London. Great video!

[@RomanFound]

To think there a few more sites we still have been to in London! 😂

[@kimbateman226]

Thanks ladies for bringing this tour and nice to see Katie. Funny thing is I have livid in London early all my life and never been to any of the individual sites you showed us. I been to the area, but missed all these interesting things out, when it bit warm these are going on the to do list, loved all the locations, thanks again

[@RomanFound]

I think a lot of these sites are so easy to miss! London has such a fast pace you forget to slow down and look around! Definitely worth stopping by these sites, a fun day out on a Roman treasure hunt! 🤎

[@timmygoode7]

Love this docuvlog 👍🏼

[@RomanFound]

Thanks Timmy! A fun but hectic day running around London!! 😂🙏🤎

[@racheltaylor6578]

There is a piece of wall in the underground car park at the Barbican and another bit at Cripplegate.There is also a Roman Mithras temple in the Bloomberg building.basement.I remember they found a Roman boat at Guys hospital when they were building the new King’s college building opposite the main hospital.There is a statue outside the Cancer centre.

[@RomanFound]

We visit the Mithras Temple in our first London Tour, it was such a highlight!! Highly recommend.

[@RomanFound]

Where should we do our next Roman Tour? 👟

[@charlesperez9976]

Well,I certainly think that Hadrians wall is well worth sharing,particularly the forts and their museums within. Perhaps you have released a video of that,and I have yet to catch it. If you do,please warn me ahead of time if you talk about Sycamore gap,as I am deeply heartbroken about that. I’m a tree person,and visiting that fine specimen in 2016 meant the world to me

[@mirkatu3249]

Bath!

[@wilkster647]

Chester

[@RomanFound]

Also so heartbroken about Sycamore gap, We haven't done Hadrians yet! Will be a big trip to plan!!@@charlesperez9976

[@readmylisp]

"Exploring Roman London", Simon Webb fresh off the presses.@@RomanFound

[@readmylisp]

I've read some of his other history books and they were very good. I'm up to my knees in unread books at the mo so this one will have to wait its turn.
