Presentation transcript:

The Romans first invaded Britannia during the Gallic Wars in 55BC Julius Caesar had received word that British Gauls might attempt to offer support to their Gaulish cousins across the Channel to repel the Romans.

For strategic and commercial reasons the Romans chose a site at the lowest bridging point in the estuary of the Tamesis (Thames) River. The Thames offered the Romans a wide and protected birth for a fleet and Londinium therefore became Rome’s port in Britannia.

From Trier: their administrative capital in Gaul, the Roman legions could pass through Belgium and cross over to Britain by the shortest point of the Chanel to Kent and proceed up the Thames to Londinium. Access to the midlands was gained through Londinium where the legions could stop, rest, pick up supplies and proceed towards the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The Romans never managed to penetrate into the Valleys of Wales (stopping at Caerwent only) and were stopped south of the Tyne River (Newcastle) where Hadrian built a wall against the Picts of Caledonia (Scotland). They consequently never invaded Hibernia (Ireland).

Find Decumanus maximus, Forum, Basilica, a Romano-Celtic temple, amphitheatre, inner and outer defensive ditches, polygonal watchtowers, polygonal temple

Square Roman –Celtic temple with an apse on the eastern side Caerwent’s forum with its large basilica NB Although Wheeler likens Caerwent to Timgad because both were laid out as military forts, Caerwent was planned as a tribal capital to Romanize the natives, whereas Timgad was planned to settle veterans. One was self-consciously Roman whereas the other was actually Roman.

2005: Caerwent (a)Identify the features marked aa, b, c, f and g. (15) (b) Comment on Wheeler’s statement that Caerwent’s primary function was to provide a centre for Romanization. (20) (c) Give a description of the forum of Caerwent. (15)

(a)a is the Decumanus Maximus, the main street running on an east-west axis b is the forum of Caerwent. c is a bath complex opposite the forum. f is the amphitheatre and g is the crude stone wall fortification built later on in the second century AD punctuated by polygonal watchtowers. (b) Wheeler likens Caerwent to the North African city of Timgad because both conform to the textbook plans of military forts. Timgad however was a thoroughly Roman city, planned and founded by Trajan to settle some of his war veterans. According to Wheeler, Caerwent was planned with a certain casualness. Apart from the inner and out defensive ditches there is little evidence of open hostility in the early settlement. Instead Caerwent was a frontier town on the very edge of the Roman Empire and Wheeler thinks it was self-consciously Roman as a result. By way of proof of his statement he refers to a well known passage from the Roman Historian Tacitus who mentions such towns (as Caerwent) as ways of acclimatising the native barbarians to the realities of Roman conquest by peaceful means; by the power of suggestion. Caerwent is a taste of all that Roman has to offer. Its a billboard or walk-in theme park offering the native Celts: the Silures of Wales (an unconquered territory) the sights, scents and sounds of Roman civilisation. (c) The forum of Caerwent is typical of a Roman provincial forum. It lies in the centre of town on the north side of the Decumanus maximus. Unlike other cities this British forum is not surrounded by fine marble colonnade but brick built buildings that perform the same functions: an enclosed open space for public meetings, a shrine to the left hand side and space for tabernas and markets. The entire forum is dominated by a large Basilica on the northern side. The 176ft long Basilica was the townhall and law court. It is accessed via two archways directly opposite the gate to the forum. It consists of two aisles, two tribunals set in apses on either end and 6 municipal offices along the back wall.
