Abstract

Hadrian visited Londinium in 122 CE, a possible first stop on his expeditio Britannica to the province of Britannia. According to scarce sources, he sought to appease the mood or forcefully restore order on the island, where there were signs of discontent. His greatest achievement during the mission was the construction of the wall that now bears his name, an obstacle that would have sought to separate Romans from barbarians. But we do not know very well what the demand that made him go there was and the scenery he found in Londinium. Hadrian may have sought to quell a major uprising or just create the northernmost limes of the empire, but his departure, in the same year, may also have triggered an increased tension between Britons and Romans, to the point of causing, shortly afterwards, the outbreak of a possible disastrous rebellion for Londinium, in the form of a fire. The effects of such transformations can be seen in the stratigraphy of the excavations and also in the “landscape” of the mortuary practices in the city limits. Through authors who have focused on these connections and excavation reports on Londinium, I intend to report conflicts reflected in the mortuary practice, and bring proposals to follow-up studies on the Roman presence in Britannia.
