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, Clywd 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. This important study of the tribe has been fully revised in light of recent excavation and research. AUTHOR: Dr Graham Webster, an authority on the Roman army, has excavated and conducted fieldwork on both military and civilian sites throughout the West Midlands and especially on the site of Wroxeter. 46 b/w illustrations
