Roman street scene, c2nd century, (1990-2010). Wall Roman Site (Letocetum). Reconstruction drawing showing a view of the market place in the 2nd century. The Romans came to Letocetum in 50 CE to establish a fortress during the early years of the invasion of Britain. Wall was an important staging post on Watling Street, the Roman military road to north Wales. The road network was crucial to the Romans' control over their empire. At staging posts like Wall weary Roman officials, soldiers and imperial messengers could find lodging for the night and change their horses.
