Petriana, Roman fort at Stanwix, Carlisle, England.
The stone structures of Uxelodunum fort covered six acres, featuring multiple gates designed for rapid cavalry deployment along the northern frontier.
The fort underwent reconstruction from turf to stone in 165 AD after temporary abandonment in 138 AD during the reestablishment of Hadrian's Wall.
The Ala Gallorum Petriana cavalry regiment of 1000 soldiers maintained permanent residence at the fort, conducting mounted patrols along the wall.
Archaeological remains of the fort lie beneath Saint Michael's churchyard, with sections of the ramparts and angle tower discovered during excavations.
The 2017 excavation revealed a bathhouse with preserved inscriptions dedicated to Julia Domna and contained semi-precious gems from Roman bathers.
