London dig turns up slice of Roman life
#1
I really like these kind of discoveries . . .

CNN) -- Phallic good luck charms, wooden buildings, an amber gladiator amulet, even documents -- all these are among a huge trove of Roman artifacts preserved by a lost river in London's financial district, archaeologists said Wednesday.
The find has given an extraordinary glimpse into the bustling everyday life of Londinium, as the Roman city was known, the Museum of London Archaeology said.

That was a real watch-from-behind-the-sofa movie.
