Description
The Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum at Wroxeter, Shropshire, has been extensively surveyed using geophysical techniques since the mid 1990s. This comprehensive plan of the city provides new insights into its layout and development. A detailed analysis of the existing aerial photographic record and geophysical data has enabled a complete reinterpretation of the town's historical development, linking it to its surrounding hinterland and wider concerns about Roman urbanization. The results also shed light on small-scale excavations carried out since 1999 in previously unexplored areas. This final report of the Wroxeter Hinterland Project provides a nuanced understanding of the city's growth and evolution over time, making it an essential resource for scholars and researchers studying Roman Britain.
