The history of the London<br>stone that came from Rome

The London Stone, is a mysterious stone that is well guarded by the British. The Stone, having traveled the folds of history for millennia, is now at 111 Cannon Street guarded by a decorative band of Portland stone and an iron grid. It is surrounded by a decorative band of Portland stone with an iron grid. ItaloEuropeo, published in London will reveal its history. The mystery of this limestone monolith is in fact worthy of attention, and also concerns ancient Italy. It is more than a simple stone, it may contain the key to Britain's birth. The stone is thought to have been first brought to London for construction and sculptural purposes in the Roman period, but also used by in the period of the Saxons and the Middle Ages. Leafing through history, one comes to the conclusion that this stone may have been placed by the Romans during the construction of the fortified city. They identified the site around year 50, in the highest place the Thames could be crossed.
