About this book
The book describes Roman remains recovered in London, including wall paintings and pottery from an extensive industry in fictile vessels. The account quotes Roach Smith's report that house rooms were usually painted in square panels or compartments, with bright red, dark grey, and black as the prevailing colours.
The discussion says that at least the City's possession of a justiciar remained in force during Stephen's reign as part of Henry's Charter. The discussion says the right of electing the justiciar and sheriffs cannot be proved to have been observed. The text reports Maitland's claim that citizens bought the right to elect sheriffs in 1139 for one hundred marks of silver, while noting that Maitland gives no authority.
