This week, we\u2019re joined by English Heritage properties historian Andrew Roberts and curator Cameron Moffet to explore the story of Wroxeter Roman city in Shropshire.\n\nThough a small village today, Wroxeter was once the fourth largest town in Roman Britain, when it was known as Viriconium. It was almost the same size as Pompeii in Italy and its true size can best be judged by the scale of the surviving defences and ramparts. Discover how the city grew out of a legionary fortress, what life would have been like for its residents and how we\u2019re sharing its story in new ways with visitors today.\n\nTo find out more or plan a visit, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/wroxeter.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
