Corinium Dobunnorum, Archaeological excavation in Cirencester, United Kingdom.
The remains extend across 240 acres, containing a forum, basilica, amphitheatre, market places, and an intricate network of Roman streets and buildings.
The settlement evolved from a military fort in 54 AD to become the second-largest Roman city in Britain by the third century.
The site produced numerous artifacts including Samian pottery, stone carvings, and mosaic works created by two distinct artistic schools of craftsmen.
The Corinium Museum in Cirencester displays extensive collections of Roman artifacts, while the amphitheatre remains are accessible in Abbey Park.
The basilica required substantial rebuilding in the second century because its walls cracked after being constructed over an old fort ditch.
