LINCOLN - Roman Architecture


This is the Newport Arch, which is the only remaining usable piece of Roman Architecture remaining in Lincoln. This gate was originally used as an entrance to the Roman forum of Lindum Colonia. The forum was used as fortress against the Celts and later against the Saxons. It is possible that the Ninth Legion marched out of this very gate to subdue Boudicca's rebellion.
