Schematic map of Roman roads and forts between Caerleon and west Wales dating to the later 1st century AD. Where the Roman names are known, these were identified through the Ravenna Cosmography[a] (except for Luentinum and Moridunum which are mentioned in Ptolemy's Geographia).
Blue/black dots are listed in the Cosmography.[1] Grey dots are other substantial forts known through archaeological remains.

Template documentationTemplate to provide a map of Roman fort locations in the south-western part of Wales, UK
To highlight a particular blue dot (to colour it black), use the parameter highlight = and its number.
The map will default to a right-side position on the page, but can be moved left or center with a float = parameter.
Pages using this template should also include a {{notelist}} feature alongside the usual {{reflist}}, to display the additional information about the Ravenna Cosmography.
- ^ The Ravenna Cosmography is a 7th century list of place names from the Roman World. In 1949 Richmond and Crawford published an article[1] showing how British entries were ordered so as to follow routes along Roman roads, thus enabling a match with known places, in this case Roman forts along the road from Caerleon to west Wales.
