City of London

London's Roman Amphitheatre in Guildhall Art Gallery

Step back in time and walk in the footsteps of the gladiators within the ancient Roman amphitheatre! Now hidden below modern-day London, it was once a venue for wild animal fights, public executions and gladiatorial combats. During the mudlarking exhibition within the amphitheatre, you will have the rare opportunity to see and hold personal items lost by Romans who lived in London over 1,600 years ago. Mudlarks will display their private collections of Roman artefacts recovered from the Thames.
