Viroconium

or Urioconium. Now Wroxeter; a town in Britain on the roads from Deva (Chester) to Londinum and to Glevum (Gloucester). It stood at the confluence of the Terne with the Severn, and here Ostorius Scapula fortified a camp for the Fourteenth Legion as a defence for the Welsh border (Tac. Ann. xii. 31; cf. Ptol.ii. 3, 19).
