Description

The site provided accommodation for Imperial officials travelling along Watling Street, the Roman military road that ran from east Kent to North Wales. Formerly a military facility, the civilian accommodation facilities were begun in the mid-first century AD. Timber to fire the heating for the bath house is stacked in the foreground, and a market is taking place in the street between the mansio and bath house.

This illustration was reproduced in black and white on page 9 of the 1994 English Heritage guidebook for Wall Roman Site, and subsequently in colour on page 3 of the 1999 site guidebook.
