"Rouen, Its History and Monuments" by Théodore Licquet is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to the city of Rouen, examining its rich history and architectural landmarks. It delves into the evolution of Rouen from Roman times through the establishment of important ecclesiastical and civil monuments, providing readers with context and insight into its significance. At the start of the book, Licquet introduces Rouen's history by referencing Cæsar and other ancient authors, discussing the origins of the city's name and its prominence as Rothomagus, the capital of the Velocasses. He indicates that the Romans fortified Rouen and highlights archaeological discoveries that add credence to its ancient stature. Licquet continues by outlining the city's ecclesiastical significance in early Christianity, its transformation under the Franc monarchy, and provides an overview of notable bishops. He emphasizes the impact of various historical events, including Viking invasions and subsequent developments that shaped Rouen as an important urban center in medieval France. This thorough historical introduction sets the stage for an exploration of Rouen's monuments throughout the guide. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
