About

Starting from the Museum in Brunswick Road, your first stop will be the Eastgate Chamber, where you will see the remains of the 2nd century Roman gate and the 4th century wall. During the walk through the city, the lines of the walls will be pointed out and the location of the four gates.

The centre of the Colonia Nerva Glevensis was at the intersection of the four Gate Streets, at what is known to this day as The Cross. Walking through Southgate, where the forum was, you will see the statue of Nerva, the Roman Emperor who awarded Colonia status to Glevum.

Returning to the Museum, you will see tombstones, jewellery and artefacts from the period as well as a section of the 4th century wall.
