The bath house at Wroxeter Roman City, c2nd century, (c1990-2010). Reconstruction drawing of bath house architecture. Wroxeter is on the site of the Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum, which was the 4th-largest tribal capital (civitas) in Roman Britain. Established about AD 58 as a fortified camp, around the year 88, the military abandoned the fortress and it was taken over by the Cornovians' civilian settlement. It prospered over the next century, with many public buildings, including thermae and a colonnaded forum. At its peak, it is thought to have had a population of more than 15,000.
