Abstract:		 The Roman legionary fortress at Wroxeter (Viroconium Cornoviorum) was built on a strategic crossing-point on the River Severn. Though the site of the Roman town had long been known through the presence of upstanding ruins, the major excavations reported here have shown how the town plan was dominated by the underlying fortress. This fortress had been established by Legio XIV c. AD 60 and had then been partially rebuilt c. AD 66 when the legion was replaced by Legio XX. The fortress was downgraded in the late 70s to become a depot for stores before final abandonment c. AD 90. The excavations produced extensive evidence for the laying out and construction of the legionary earth and timber defences and of an area within the fortress to the north of the via praetoria where mess halls, barrack blocks and a storehouse were found, as well as considerable quantities of coins, metalwork, pottery and glass. Includes specialist reports on the coins; military brooches; the bronze dioscurus; a catalogue of military equipment; intaglios; the Venus (or nymph) of the fountain; an extensive report on pottery, including samian; lamps, tiles and glass; faunal remains; appendices on the principal military features and contexts, and on the pottery data; and French and German summaries.
