| | Towns in Germania Inferior: Laurium (Woerden) |
 | | The first building phase of fort Woerden had a north-south orientation that was not repeated when the settlement was rebuilt in c.47, when the Roman general Cnaeus Domitius Corbulo reorganized the Rhine frontier. |
 | | It is often said that the unit that occupied Woerden in the second century was the Cohors XV Voluntarium, the fifteenth regiment of volunteers. |
 | | For Woerden, this is proved by coins from the reigns of the emperors Constantine I the Great (307-337), Constantinus II (337-340), Constans (337-350), Valentinian I (364-375), and Theodosius I (378-395). |
