Around 1700 years ago, Corinium
Around 1700 years ago, Corinium - modern day Cirencester - was the second most important city in Roman Britain after Londinium. It was a bustling, wealthy city - built along the important Roman highway of Ermine Street - and was complete with basilica, forum, shops, high-status housing and all the other attributes of a thriving provincial capital.
Time Team was drawn to Cirencester by the opportunity to excavate in the gardens of a number of properties in Chester Street, which lies close to the line of Ermine Street and near to the centre of old Corinium.
The Team also examined evidence for the existence of another Roman road bisecting Ermine Street, using geophysics surveys to try to determine its exact location. As a result of the investigation, a number of new pieces could be put into place in the archaeologists' jigsaw map of old Corinium.
