Lunt Roman Fort, Nr Coventry

Baginton, Coventry

Lunt Roman fort is a partial reconstruction of a fort established in AD60 following the Boudiccan rebellion.
-
In the early 1970s some walls of the fort were reconstructed upon the original foundations, and the site is open to the public.

Visitors entering the fort do so by the reconstructed Eastern Gateway which is built entirely of timber and is based on depictions from Trajan's column.

The most interesting feature in the fort is a unique large circular construction identified as the gyrus, which was the cavalry training ring.

The museum features:
* Museum of Roman Military Life with archaeological finds
* A model of the Roman fort as it appeared in 64AD
* Occasional re-enactments of military manoeuvres
