Ad Acta...
“Urbs Mille Artificiorum” no doubt represents “The City of a Thousand Trades” even if it is or isn’t correct Latin. But when was this term first coined?
In July 1924 the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce issued its Year Book, and the Index was translated into French and Spanish (but not LATIN).

Birmingham was often referred to as the "Workshop of the World". So when was this phrase (I have no Latin equivalent) first applied to Birmingham?
I believe it was originally used to describe Britain as a whole, and a quick look reveals that a Lord Napier of Magdala mentioned Birmingham as the Workshop in a speech in the city in 1869.
Has anyone read the Book," Birmingham: Workshop of the World" Edited by Carl Chinn and Malcolm Dick? It was published in 2016.
There is a podcast describing the book on the link below with some interesting views on how the inquiry into history is made...
