Viriconium Cornoviorum (now Wroxeter in the West of England) was founded as a Roman fort (castrum) in the middle of the 1st century CE, which was the base for the 14th Gemina legion, invading Wales. The city developed at the end of the 1st century and became the fourth largest city in Roman Britain.
The center was located practically at the end of the Roman road Watling Street, passing through the Roman province from Dubris (Dover). The city had numerous public buildings, including thermal baths and a forum.
