 The Roman Riches of Ribchester
The Roman settlement that was built in Ribchester, East Lancashire was called Bremetennacum Veteranorum, the hilltop settlement of the veterans, and dated from about AD 78 in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian when Britain was under the governorship of Julius Agricola.
The famous 'Ribchester Hoard' was discovered in 1796 by a boy of thirteen, John Walton, who lived with his family in a house near the river.
The Romans left Ribchester at the end of the fourth century, and those inhabitants that were left probably made a living by farming until the village was destroyed during raids by the Scots under Robert the Bruce.

The double granary at Ribchester is also worthy of note as two different construction methods were used in the separate halves of the building, one side had stone pillars supporting the floor, whilst the other had only a single sleeper wall which ran longitudinally down the centre of the structure.
The Ribchester fort was built by men of the Twentieth, that much is certain ( vide RIB 592 supra), but what is also apparent is that it was built for a regiment of auxiliary cavalry, not a cohort of infantry.
Perhaps the first occupants of the Ribchester fort were Ala II Asturum, a nominal five-hundred strong auxiliary cavalry unit recruited from among the Astures tribe of north-western Spain.

 The Heroic Age: Lucius Artorius Castus
Castus's campaign, like Arthur's, consolidated Britain following a period of infighting (in Castus's case, this involved the mutinee of the VI Victrix), and Castus's connection with the VI Victrix might be what prevented the legion from being disbanded after attempting to name "Priscus, a lieutenant," as emperor (Cassius Dio 73.9.2a; Cary 1932:89).
What is interesting about this choice of word is that it matches the very strange title for the command at Bremetennacum (Ribchester): praepositus numeri et regionis ("commander of the troops of foreign origin and of the region"; Collingwood and Wright 1965:194-197, nos.
It is possible that the odd description of the commander's rank at Bremetennacum (Ribchester) developed in response to Castus's protracted campaign and then persisted through administrative inertia.

However, another location of interest on MAP 2, occurs at a point in the Ashton Hall estate that is also 27 Roman miles from Ribchester via Cabus Cross and then Cockerham and Conder Green.
It is generally accepted that a Roman road that could run north from Preston would follow most of the old A6 road as far as Cabus, except for that part of the A6 that is now the Garstang bypass.
