HANSOM THE SPIRIT WORLD

摘要

London is full of hidden gems, but some are only brought to light just before construction is to start - this time Bloomberg's opulent new headquarters in the City. A dig that began before construction started on the building revealed the oldest hand-written document found in Britain. The document dates from 8 January AD 57 and will go on display as part of over 700 artefacts discovered during the excavation when Bloomberg's HQ opens. The Roman documents were written on wooden tablets and contain the first ever reference to London, financial documents and evidence of schooling, all translated by The Museum of London Archaeology. Coins were also found -presumably to pay for the tour buses.
