Castrum Gariannonum, Roman military fort in Norfolk, England
The fortress includes defensive walls, barracks, and storage facilities positioned strategically along the eastern coast of Britain to monitor maritime routes.
Constructed in the 2nd century AD, Castrum Gariannonum operated as part of the Saxon Shore fortification network until the Roman departure in the early 5th century.
The military installation demonstrates Roman engineering methods through its standardized layout and architectural features common to other forts across Britain.
Archaeological excavations at the site near Caister-on-Sea continue to reveal artifacts and structural elements that inform research about Roman military life.
The fort housed a specialized cavalry unit called Equites Stablesiani, indicating its importance in defending against maritime raids along the British coast.
