Interesting Facts About Colchester

Colchester History

Colchester’s town walls c. 3,000 yd. long were built c.65–80 A.D. when the Roman town was rebuilt after the Boudicca rebellion. In 2004, Colchester Archaeological Trust discovered the remains of a Roman Circus underneath the Garrison in Colchester, a unique find in Britain. The Roman town of Camulodunum, officially known as Colonia Victricensis, reached its peak in the Second and Third centuries AD. The director of Colchester Archaeological Trust, Philip Crummy, described the hoard as being of “national importance and one of the finest ever uncovered in Britain.”
