Corinium is a Romano-British town situated at Cirencester in Gloucestershire, which served as the principal settlement of the Dobunni tribe and became the second-largest town in Roman Britain after London. Founded in the first century AD as a military fort before developing into a civilian administrative and commercial centre, Corinium functioned as the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Prima following the reorganisation of Britain in the late third century. The town's substantial surviving remains include sections of the defensive walls, foundation deposits of significant buildings, and extensive archaeological deposits that testify to its importance as a regional hub for trade and governance throughout the Roman period, from approximately AD 70 until the early fifth century.
