Arch Way Excavations Shropshire Uriconium Wroxeter


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the fascinating remains of Viriconium Cornoviorum, also known as Uriconium and Wroxeter, an ancient Roman town that once thrived in the heart of Shropshire, England. Dated back to 1859, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this remarkable site, which has been partly incorporated into the modern-day village. The central focus of the photograph is the impressive archway, a remnant of the Roman town's grandeur, standing tall amidst the verdant landscape. The intricate carvings and timeworn stones bear testament to the craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the ancient Romans. The archway, believed to be part of a temple or basilica, is a poignant reminder of the town's storied past. Surrounding the archway, the photograph reveals the extensive excavations that have taken place at the site. Archaeologists and historians have unearthed a wealth of artifacts and structures, shedding light on the daily life and cultural practices of the Roman inhabitants. The meticulous work of these scholars has allowed us to piece together a captivating narrative of Viriconium's history. The village of Wroxeter, which now stands in part on the ancient Roman town's ruins, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this once-great settlement. The photograph invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the intricate interplay between the past and the present.
