The Roman fort gate inside a car park near the #BarbicanCentre.

#London was once a walled city. This began with a #Roman fort, probably built on the orders of Emperor Hadrian in 120 CE. The Romans later expanded it to cover the entire city of #Londinium north of the #Thames. #RomanBritain

Love that engraving, and I couldn't resist standing in the artist's vantage point when I last visited #Londinium.
