ILCHESTER, LINDINIS; A TERRATORIUM CIRENCESTER, CORINIUM; TERRATORIUM

The Roman method of aiding retired legionaries was to set up a “Colonia” or just a Civitas and auction by lot land parcels for self sufficiency. These land areas formed a territory and it is possible to establish their boundaries by landscape archaeology, through extant boundaries and constructions. This paper looks at two such areas which form part of the Foss Way, England; a well known Roman Road.
