Bremenium, Roman fort site in Rochester, England

The stone foundations of Bremenium Fort cover an area of 4 acres with thick defensive walls and a central headquarters building at its core.

Constructed around 80 AD during Agricola's northern campaigns, the fort maintained Roman control over the region until its abandonment in the 270s.

Excavations at Bremenium revealed complex heating systems and architectural elements that demonstrate advanced Roman military engineering and construction techniques.

The remains of Bremenium are accessible from the A68 road through the Brigantium Archaeological Reconstruction Centre, with visible western gates and defensive ditches.

The garrison records show three different military units stationed at the fort: the First Cohort of Lingones, Dalmatians, and Vardulians.

Location: Rochester

Part of: Hadrian's Wall
