London Pass offers FREE entry to the top attractions and a FREE 132 page guidebook! The beginnings of London can be dated with some exactitude to the invasion of the Romans in 43AD. Prior to the Roman invasion there was no permanent settlement of significance on the site of London. Instead, the Thames River flowed through marshy ground sprinkled with small islands of gravel and sand. There were probably more mosquitoes than people inhabiting the area. Historical re-enactment of Roman soldiers The commander of the Roman troops was one Aulus Plautius. He pushed his men up from their landing place in Kent towards Colchester, then the most important town in Britain. The Roman advance was halted by the Thames, and Plautius was forced to build a bridge to get his men across.

Extractions: The Virtual Israel Experience The Jewish community in Rome is known to be the oldest Jewish community in Europe and also one the oldest continuous Jewish settlements in the world, dating back to 161 B.C.E . when Jason ben Eleazar and Eupolemus ben Johanan came as envoys of Judah Maccabee . Other delegations were sent by the Hasmonean rulers in 150 and 139 B.C.E. After the Romans invaded Judea in 63 B.C.E., Jewish prisoners of war were brought to Rome as slaves, Jewish delegates came to Rome on diplomatic missions and Jewish merchants traveled to Rome seeking business opportunities. Many of those who visited Rome stayed and the Jewish population began to grow. Twice in the Classic period, Jews were exiled from Rome, in 19 C.E. and in 49-50 C.E. The first exile took place due to the defrauding of an aristocratic Roman woman Fulvia, who had been attracted to Judaism. The second exile occurred because of disturbances caused by the rise of Christianity. It is not certain, though, that these measures were fully carried out or that the period of exile lasted a long time. During the Roman-Jewish wars in Palestine in 66-73 and 132-135, Jewish prisoners of war were brought to Rome as slaves. A number of the oldest Jewish Roman families trace their ancestry in the city to this period. Jewish scholars from Israel came to Rome in 95-96. In 212, Caracella granted the Jews the privilege of becoming Roman citizens

Extractions: Hungary Today Middle Ages to the Ottoman Empire Memorial Jewish stone from the time of the Roman Empire Jews have lived in Hungary since the time of the Roman Empire, even before the Magyar (Hungarian) tribes arrived and conquered the land in the 9th century. The Jewish community grew in the second half of the 11th century due to large numbers of immigrants from Germany, Bohemia and Moravia. Jews settled in the towns of Buda , Esztergom, Sopron, Tata and Old Buda. Restrictions were placed on Jews by Christian clergy and institutions. In 1092, the Church forbade Jews from intermarrying Christians, working on Sundays and Christian holidays and purchasing slaves. Despite the prohibitions placed on Jews by the church, Hungary served as a haven for Jews. At the end of the 11th century, King Koloman protected Jews living in his territory, in return for direct taxes to his treasury. During the 12th century, Jews held leadership positions in the economic institutions in Hungary. In 1251, King Bela IV gave Jews legal rights and welcomed Jewish immigration. Support for Jews by the King was counteracted by anti-Jewish laws from the church and the nobility. Their advancement was hindered by the nobles who proposed the "Golden Bull" article of 1222, prohibiting Jews from holding particular offices and receiving the title of nobility. By 1279, Jews were prohibited from leasing land and were forced to wear badges. Many of these anti-Jewish measures were not carried out because of the King's objections.

Extractions: War (continued) Part VII: Castles, Forts, and Walled Towns Introduction: The Middle Ages were a violent time. Any warrior who was strong enough could take the property and lives of others. Therefore, people looked for protection from their leaders who raised large armies to protect their citizens and their own power. A. Walled Cities and Towns Below is a walled city in Morocco. All cities had strong walls and a few main gates through which outsiders could enter. These walls were for protection against robbers, conquerors, and strangers. Towns Like Castles , Geoweb, UCB, Courtesy of Professor Miller. Below is part of the many walls for defense outside of Istanbul, Turkey. This city, formerly called Constantinople, was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire. This city was constantly threatened by many armies, but was finally captured by the Ottoman Muslim forces in 1453. Postcard of Kale near Istanbul, Turkey B. Castles and Forts Middle Eastern castles were made mostly of stone, but where there were few stones, they were made of dried brick. They often included towers a drawbridge over a moat (a deep ditch often filled with water) arrow loops (narrow slits for windows) , a portcullis (gate that drops down) , and more features. Europeans copied many of these designs when they saw them during the Crusades.
