	BBC - h2g2 - Verulamium - subbed version
		Archaeological evidence shows that the Roman town of Verulamium was built at least partly over a Celtic settlement that already existed, although it is unclear whether the natives were forced off their land or allowed the building of the town willingly.
		Verulamium began to be rebuilt and to expand in the years after the Revolt, during and after the reign of the Emperor Nero.
		As already mentioned, Verulamium was the civitas capital for the Catuvellauni — that is, it was the Roman equivalent of a modern British county town.

		Verulamium was the third largest city in Roman Britain.

		A similar catastrophe was reserved for the municipality of Verulamium; as the natives, with their delight in plunder and their distaste for exertion, left the forts and garrison-posts to one side, and made for the point which offered the richest material for the pillager and was unsafe for a defending force.
		Verulamium was almost completely destroyed in the revolt of Boudicca during the winter of AD60/61, but was soon to recover from the predations of the Icenian rebels, and quickly rebuilt.
		By the fourth century, Verulamium was the third-largest city of Roman Britain after Londinium (London) and Corinium (Cirencester).

		Verulamium was razed to the ground and the city destroyed by fire.
		The most notable event to occur to the city (apart from being destroyed in Boudicca's rebellion) was the martyrdom of Alban, sometime in the third century.
		Verulamium however, appears to have survived into the fifth century, well past the end of imperial rule in 410 A.D. and its demise as a city seems to have resulted more from economic factors (with the breakdown in long distance trade after the dissolution of the western empire) than other reasons.
