If approved, this would be the only public display of London's first Roman Basilica, letting the public experience what it would have been like to 'stand on the stage of early Roman London'.
Pictured, reconstruction drawing of Londinium, c. AD 120] Remains of London's first Roman basilica were uncovered during archaeological investigations at 85 Gracechurch Street, an office building due for demolishment.
This map combines modern-day London including 85 Gracechurch Street with the location of the Forum - the big open-air centre of day-to-day life in Roman London.
London's basilica was an ancient Roman public building where courts were held, as well as serving other official and public functions.
The basilica was part of Roman London's wider Forum – the big open-air centre of day-to-day life, similar to modern day Trafalgar Square.
