Join me as we explore the history of one of the most unusual Roman sites in Britain — Lunt Roman Fort. This fort near Coventry isn’t just another example of Rome’s military presence in Britain; it contains something truly mysterious: a unique structure not found anywhere else in the empire.

What was it used for? Why was it built here? And what does it reveal about Roman military training in Britain?

What you’ll learn today:

✅ Why Lunt Roman Fort was built and its role in Roman Britain

✅ How Lunt has four distinct periods of Occupation

✅ The mystery of the Gyrus — unique in the Roman world

✅ How this site helps us understand the Roman army and its training
