London.-The historical dictum that
London was a prehistoric Celtic city
has just been shattered here by DR..
Mortimer Wheeler, keeper of the Lon
don museum, who has expressed the
opinion that London was the creation
of the Roman invaders.
Considerable interest has been
aroused by This finding, particularly
In view of the fact that the historical
monuments commission is shortly to
publish report on Roman London. in
which considerable new evidence in
support of the theory will be brought
forth.
Doctor Wheeler argues that there is
no historical evidence of prehistoric
London and that the fact that London
is Celtic name carries no particular
significance since the Romans, as the
modern colonizing British, often
adopted the native names for their
settlements.
Parasite Of London Bridge.
The absence of an early settlement
in such an. important position is ex-
planned by the historian with the fact
that the population of England in the

the historian, came into existence at
the time Of the Roman occupation, or
about the year 43 A. D., the year Of
the Roman conquest. Roman London,
in all likelihood, he declares, was a
bridgehead settlement.
Seek More Evidence.
The Roman wall. according to Doc.
tor Wheeler, was built much earlier
than the Third or Fourth century, as
generally believed. He declares there
is reason to believe that 1t was built
as early as the First, century follow
ing the destruction of the Roman town
by Bordicea. He points out that there
is much evidence that large and ambi-
tious works of that kind belong to the
early period of success and ambition.
while the small walled towns are more
typical of the period during which the
Roman cities were erecting defenses
against the barbarian invaders.
Doctor Wheeler has made plea for
the appointment of a trained official
to watch the building excavations In
the area of Roman London, declaring
that invaluable discoveries were being
lost as the result Of modern Lon
don driving Its foundations straight
through the Roman level.

country was covered by dense oak for
ests, which were practically impene-
trable. These forest areas of the
Thames valley would thus be avoided.
while the open gravel area in the vi
entity now London was undesirable,
due to the great breadth and extreme
turbulence of the river at that point.
AS for the city Of London itself Doc
tor Wheeler is of the opinion that 1t is
a parasite of London bridge" This,
he explained, is a logical deduction
from the fact that the original bridge
came into existence when overseas
trade began to be a dominating factor
in the economic life Of southeastern
England, for which it constituted
limb in one Of the main arteries.
These trade conditions, according to
