Volunteers For the Gallows Offered In Place Of Condemned

London and Paris in ancient times
The text traces London from its Celtic Lyndin to Londinius in Tacitus, noting a flourishing early town before Rome. Paris is tied to Caesar’s Lutetia, becoming Paristia and then Paris, with Clovis choosing it as a seat of government in the sixth century.
