Pons Aelius was a fort by Hadrian's wall, near modern day Newcastle. It was built as part of the fortifications which protected the border in northern England from attacks by the Picts of Scotland. Therefore, it provided protection for the Roman province of Britannia (England and Wales). The presence of soldiers also provided trading opportunities for local traders.

What did the seven kings of Rome do?

Romulus, the first king, laid the foundations of the Roman state and fought wars of expansion near Rome. The second king, Numa Pompilius, laid the foundations of Roman state religion. The third king, Tullus Hostilius fought against the Latin city of Alba Longa and destroyed it and built the first senate house (the Curia Hostilia). The fourth king built the first bridge on the river Tiber (Pons Sublicius) and a port of the river (Portus Tiberinus). The firth, king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, fought wars against the Sabines, other Latin cities (and possibly Etruscan cities) which attacked Rome, doubled the size of the cavalry and the senate and begun the construction of the Cloaca Maxima, Rome's first sewer. The sixth king, Servius Tullius reformed the army, created two new popular assemblies (the assembly of the soldiers and the assembly of the tribes) and completed Rome's circuit of walls. The seventh king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, was a tyrant and was overthrown by a rebellion. The Romans decided to abolish the monarchy and establish the Roman Republic to prevent a return to tyranny.

How and why did did Newcastle grow from being a small settlement where a bridge crossed the river Tyne to the city it is today?

The history of Newcastle dates from about AD120, when the Romans built the first bridge to cross the River Tyne at that point. The bridge was called Pons Aelius or 'Bridge of Aelius', Aelius being the family name of Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was responsible for the Roman wall built across northern England along Tyne-Solway gap. Hadrian's Wall runs through present-day Newcastle with stretches of wall and turrets visible along the West Road, and at a temple in Benwell.
