The Cornovii

Britons of Roman Shropshire

The classic work on the Cornovii brought back to print as part of the 'Peoples of Roman Britain' series

The Cornovii are one of the less well-known tribes of Roman Britain. Situated on the fringes of the civilian zone of the Province, they emerged only slowly from a pre- Roman background which is still largely unknown to us. Their territory, centered on Shropshire but extending into Staffordshire, Herefordshire and parts of Cheshire, and Worcestershire, was constantly traversed by the Roman army.

Even when a civilian administration was finally established, with a capital city at Wroxeter, the army was never far away, and it had a profound effect on the development of the new civitas. Written and later updated by the late eminent archaeologist Graham Webster, this is a classic study that continues to resonate to this day.
