	The WROXETER HINTERLAND Project
		Wroxeter Roman City, capital of the British tribe known as the Cornovii, is the largest ancient city in Britain to have survived modern development unscathed.
		The challenge of the Wroxeter Project is to investigate and interpret the remains of this great city; to study not just the city itself, but also the surrounding landscape in order to understand the origins, development and ultimate abandonment of the settlement.
		The multi-disciplinary study of Wroxeter and its rural hinterland aims to investigate the success of that mechanism in detail, by examining the changing fortunes of the city over time and the complex relationships between the city and the rural hinterland which supported it.

	BBC - Shropshire - History - Vironconium Roman city at Wroxeter
		Wroxeter was the capital of the British tribe called the Cornovii and is the largest ancient city in Britain to have survived intact.
		The site for Wroxeter, which was originally a Roman outpost on the edge of the empire, was well-chosen, occupying a plateau close to the Severn with a good all-round view.
		Roman relics are everywhere in the modern village of Wroxeter, for example, while stone from the ancient city was used to build the church at Atcham.

	Wroxeter Roman City
		The site at Wroxeter has always been a wholly Roman foundation and was first settled by the Roman army in cAD48, the site being on the line of the great Roman road known as Watling Street.
		Wroxeter, along with Exeter, was then made a tribal centre being given its own administration and a degree of local autonomy.
		During the 2nd century Wroxeter continued to grow and by the end of the 2nd century a new defensive ditch and bank were dug around the entire perimeter of what had now become the fourth largest city in Roman Britain.

	ASPROM: Wroxeter and its hinterland, by R. H. White
		Firstly, Wroxeter is today in the open fields, for the centre of occupation has long shifted to Shrewsbury, 5 miles to the west.
		Given this background, when the new Roman town of Wroxeter was imposed in the landscape, the impact of Romanisation must have been particularly stark.
		At Duncote Farm, one mile north of Wroxeter, a complex sequence of occupation was unravelled comprising an Iron Age field system which was replaced in the mid-second century with a much more regular patter of small fields set within a gridwork of iugera-sized plots.

	CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Wroxeter Project was established in 1994 to continue and expand upon the work that had been carried out in the abandoned Roman town of Viroconium Cornoviorum, modern Wroxeter, in the county of Shropshire.
		The aim of the Wroxeter Project, therefore, was to explore the impact that the establishment and maintenance of the town had on its immediate rural hinterland and whether this impact might be measured archaeologically through a combination of traditional surface survey and modern Geographical Information Software (GIS) modelling technology.
		To remedy this, the Wroxeter Project also launched a programme of extensive geophysical and topographic survey within the walled area of the town (roughly 78 hectares / 180 acres) to assess the density and character of the settlement.

		There are excellent views of the river to the north and south, and the site was no doubt chosen to command the river crossing to the north, and to watch over the country beyond the Sabrina.

		Cohors Primae Thracum were believed to have been stationed here in the auxiliary fort at Wroxeter, just to the south of the spot where the city of Viroconium was later to be built.

		Smethwick outplayed Wroxeter for the second time, this season, but they still find themselves 21 points behind the Shropshire side, who lead the table with just 3 games to play.
		After 28 overs, Wroxeter had struggled to 54 for 2, with Smethwick in firm control, but Andy Johnson (35) and Duncan Bowett (27) played some attacking shots to boost the total to 138 all out after 50 overs.
		It will be a major shock if they fail to clinch promotion at this late stage, but Smethwick will be cursing their luck with the toss and the weather if they fail to overtake the Shropshire side at the top of the table.

		Wroxeter used to be thought of as a failed town.
		Moreover, the Wroxeter Hinterland Project is showing that the landscape - far from being sparsely populated - was fully settled before the Romans arrived; and the likelihood is that, as is the case now, the bulk of agricultural production in the region was pastoral not arable.
		Seemingly, the Cornovians were every bit as wealthy as their compatriots in the South East, but like their Iron Age ancestors, they set themselves apart in the manner in which they spent their money and demonstrated their wealth.
