Description

Wall Roman Site was known as Letocetum during the Roman period, and 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, civilian facilities were added in the mid-first century AD and the first bath house facilities were constructed around 100AD and enlarged during the following two centuries. This illustration was reproduced in colour on page 7 of the 1999 English Heritage guidebook for Wall Roman Site.
