Greenwich Park offers beautiful, lush scenery with both touristy and private areas. The park contains the Royal Observatory where the Greenwich Prime Meridian begins, the Flower Garden, the Anglo-Saxon cemetery, and the remains of a Roman Temple ("Welcome"). The Roman temple is in the eastern part of Greenwich Park, and, although it may not look like much more than a grassy mound, it is a site of rich Roman history and offers a glimpse into the relationship and interactions between Britons and Romans. At the site, there is an informational stand with a brief discription of past archelogical digs and the significance of the Roman Temple. Many items have been found at this site over the years such as:

• Three Floor Surfaces

• Fragments of stone inscriptions

• Painted wall plaster

• The right arm of a near life-size limestone statue

• Pottery including decorated Samian ware (mostly 2nd century from central Gaul)

• More than 300 coins dating from the 1st to 5th centuries

• 101 coins from the 3rd and 4th centuries

• A marble tablet inscribed with three lines of text

• Stamped tile

• Painted plaster

• Animal bone

• Pottery

• Evidence of buildings east of the mound (“Greenwich”)
