Tripontium
Tripontium (Latin for "Three-Bridge") was a town in Roman Britain. It lay just off the Roman road later called Watling Street (and known today as the A5) at a site now chiefly within the civil parish of Newton and Biggin in the English county of Warwickshire and partly in Leicestershire, some 3.4 miles north-east of Rugby and 3.1 miles south of Lutterworth. ==Character== Tripontium was established as a military frontier post soon after the Roman invasion of Britain in 47. Its name references the bridges over the River Avon and two of its tributaries. Tripontium was a civilian town which was inhabited for around 400 years before being abandoned in the late 4th century when the Romans left Britain. It was connected to the road network near Watling Street, but via a detour 7 Roman miles longer than the main route between Venonis (High Cross) and Bannaventa (Norton).〔Antonine Itinerary.
