===Roman=== [[File:Jewry Wall ruins Apr10.jpg|thumb|[[St Nicholas' Church, Leicester|St Nicholas's Church]] and the [[Jewry Wall]]]] {{Main|Ratae Corieltauvorum}} It is believed that the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] arrived in the Leicester area around [[Anno Domini|AD]] 47, during their [[Roman conquest of Britain|conquest]] of [[Roman Britain|southern Britain]].<ref name="Richard3part2">{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-22404032 |title=Richard III team makes second Leicester car park find |work=BBC News Leicester |date=4 May 2013 |access-date=4 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130507010020/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-22404032 |archive-date=7 May 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> The Corieltauvian settlement lay near a bridge on the [[Fosse Way]], a [[Roman road]] between the legionary camps at [[Isca Dumnoniorum|Isca]] ([[Exeter]]) and [[Lindum Colonia|Lindum]] ([[Lincoln, England|Lincoln]]). It remains unclear whether the Romans fortified and garrisoned the location, but it slowly developed from around the year 50 onwards as the [[civitas|tribal capital]] of the Corieltauvians under the name [[Ratae Corieltauvorum]]. In the 2nd century, it received a [[forum (Roman)|forum]] and [[thermae|bathhouse]]. In 2013, the discovery of a Roman cemetery found just outside the old city walls and dating back to AD 300 was announced.<ref name="Richard3part2"/> The remains of the [[thermae|baths]] of Roman Leicester can be seen at the [[Jewry Wall]]; recovered artifacts are displayed at the [[Jewry Wall Museum|adjacent museum]].
