In the year 55 before our era a Roman legion headed by Julius Cesar crossed the English Channel that divides the British Isles from the continent of Europe. Having landed in Britain, the Romans founded a military station on the northern bank of the river Thames. Being skilled in the art of building they started for their settlements with thick massive walls and laying roads across the country leading to the sea coast. After staying in Britain for two centuries the Romans returned to the continent having left behind excellent roads and strong fortifications. One of the Roman settlements was called Londinium Augusta. Four centuries later, according to some historians, the capital of Britain was co-founded in its locality, part of the Roman wall still lying deep under the ground beneath modern London. 2. No other ancient monuments of Roman times have remained in the city. The earliest historical monument of Russian architecture is the so called Tower of London which has retained its name up to the present day. Being erected on the ruins of a Roman fortress, it consists of parts belonging to different periods of English history, its central and most ancient part being the huge square tower of four storeys high. It was called the White Tower, deriving its name from the white stone, it was built of. The White Tower was surrounded with a double row of walls with smaller towers forming the inner and outer court with the scaffold in the back of it.
