Lindinis was a small town in the Roman province of Britain. Today it is known as Ilchester, located in the Somerset British county. There were two great iron fort fortresses in the Lindinis region, such as Ham Hill and Cadbury Castle, but also a small settlement south of the next Roman city. The name is of British origin and it is for Wet Lake. The city grew around a fort where the Fosse Way crosses the Yeo River.
The fort was fenced with lumber around 60 dC. and later it seems that a second was built. Originally surrounded by round native homes, these were later superseded by a vicus or an unplanned civilian area of about 30 acres. After the transfer of the army in the late I century, a civilian road network was realized with domestic homes in lumber and workshops, as well as industrial suburbs outside the roadside. There are traces of iron, glass and bone processing and crockery production, as well as land plots for agricultural use within the city. Towards the end of the 2nd century, the central area was surrounded by a defensive foyer and a ditch with stone entrances. The brick walls were erected in the middle of the fourth century. From this period the city seems to be largely built by private homes for the practice of lust, whose affluent owners were rich enough to be able to install gorgeous mosaic floors. More than thirty were discovered, and it was assumed that the town contained a workshop for Corinth's Decusse School for mosaicists. At one point it seems to become one of the two civitas of capital division of the Durotrigi tribe. Strange finds of V-century crockery imports imply that Lindinis remained under Roman-British occupation until at least this time. Notemodify wikitesto Fontimodifica wikitesto
