VERULAMIUM

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 1051 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VERULAMIUM , a Romano-British town situated in the territory of the Catuvellauni, close to the
modern
  St Albans (
Hertfordshire
 ). Before the
Roman
  conquest it was probably a native
capital
 : afterwards it received the dignity of a
municipium
  (implying municipal status and
Roman
  citizenship). Tacitus tells us that the town was burnt by Boadicea in A.D. 61, but it again rose to prosperity. Its site is still easily recognizable. Its walls of flint
rubble
  survive in stately fragments, and en-close an area of 200 acres. Of the internal buildings little is known. A theatre was excavated in 1847, and parts of the forum were opened by Mr
William
  Page in 1898; both indicate a civilized and cultivated town. The
complete
  uncovering of the site was planned in 1910. (F. J. H.)
