Cramond Roman Fort is a Roman-Era archaeological site at Cramond, Edinburgh, Scotland. The settlement may be the "Rumabo" listed in the 7th-century ''Ravenna Cosmography''. The fort was established around 140 AD and occupied until around 170, with a further period of occupation from around 208 to 211. Among the many archaeological finds, one of the most famous is a sculpture known as the Cramond Lioness. ==History== The fort at Cramond was located on the River Almond at the point where it flows into the Forth. In Roman times, there was probably a natural harbour here.〔T. Christopher Smout, (1992), ''Scotland and the sea'', page 15. Rowman & Littlefield〕 The fort was established around 140 during the building of the Antonine Wall, and remained in use until around 170 when the Romans retreated south to Hadrian's Wall.〔(Cramond Roman Fort ) at Undiscovered Scotland〕 When the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus began the last major Roman incursion into Scotland from 208 to 211, the fort was reoccupied and enlarged.〔 Throughout these periods of occupation a civilian settlement seems to have existed outside the fort, and some native occupation of the fort seems to have taken place after the time of Severus into the 4th century.〔(Site Record for Cramond Edinburgh, Cramond Roman Fort Details ) - Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland〕
