Roman sites in Essex
When you explore Roman sites in Essex one location comes instantly to mind - Colchester. The Romans called it Camulodunum, and it served as the first capital of the new Roman province of Britannia.
Large sections of the original Roman walls of Colchester (the Roman Camulodunum) still stand and can be easily viewed in several places. On Balkerne Hill is an important gateway, quite well-preserved, with a guard chamber beside the main gateway passage.
