Ancaster Roman Town
Ancaster Roman Town was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia. It is sited on the Roman road known as the Ermine Street and is situated in the county of Lincolnshire. Its name in Latin is unknown, although it has traditionally been identified with ''Causennis'' or Causennæ, a name which occurs as a town on the route of ''Iter V'' recorded in the Antonine Itinerary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Description of town )〕 Rivet and Smith questioned this identification in 1979 and suggested that a more likely identification would be either the Roman settlement at Salters ford, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, or at Sapperton in Lincolnshire〔 A.L.F. Rivet and C. Smith (1979), ''The Place-Names of Roman Britain'', pp. 164 & 305〕
==Town development==
The Romans built a fort over an Iron Age settlement sometime in the 1st century. It lay on Ermine Street, a major Roman road heading north from Londinium (London) and, after the army left, expanded rapidly in the early 2nd century into a small town. A defensive stone wall was built about 225 and external towers were later added. Not much is known about life in the town, but industry included pottery production and coin forgery. There may have been a sculptor's workshop as some fine carvings have been discovered. This includes a Deae Matres sculpture and altar from a religious precinct around the present church.〔 Excavations have also found a cemetery containing more than 250 Roman burials, including 11 stone sarcophagi. There is also a Roman marching camp to the north-west of Ancaster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Description of marching camp )〕
