Asset 1 of 1 Previous Asset [ 1 ] Next Asset   [Slideshow]
The Roman wall still survives at Colchester (it is the most complete in the country). To construct it would have required over 45,000 cubic metres of stone, tile, and mortar (80,000 tonnes in weight), including perhaps 40,000 tonnes of septaria that had to be brought from several miles away.
