Summary
Details

This volume provides an overview and synthesis of excavations from 1934 to 2019 at Metchley Roman forts, Birmingham, one of the most extensively investigated Roman military complexes in the midlands.

The first fort of mid-Neronian date may have been occupied by a garrison of around 1,000 auxiliaries. The fort was later enlarged by annexes on three sides. It was succeeded by a military stores depot. After a short abandonment, a smaller Flavian fort was occupied briefly.

The internal buildings of timber-framed construction were well-preserved, including a rare double barrack block, granaries, workshops, the praetorium, stables and store buildings. This volume includes specialist overviews of the small finds, pottery and environmental evidence.

This book has been published with the support of a Historic England publication grant.
