Wroxeter Roman City

Wroxeter was one of the largest cities in Roman Britain, founded in the mid 1st century AD as a legionary fortress and growing into a fully fledged city in the following 50 years
Before the Romans arrived, the landscape had been settled and cultivated for more than 1,500 years, occupied by the Cornovii who lived in farmsteads dotted across the landscape and may also have occupied the many hillforts in Shropshire such as the Wrekin, close by.
About four years after the Roman invasion of Britain they built temporary campaign camps on both banks of the Severn, at Cound and Leighton, to control crossing points, and made a second a route along high ground to the north of the Wrekin, which later became Watling Street and ran through Wroxeter.
At its peak, Wroxeter was a bustling city with a population of around 5,000 people, making it almost as large as Pompeii.

Sorry, I've has to give up with this. The background sound track made it un-listenable. Pity because it is well filmed, and I think, well narrated
