SEGEDUNUM

'Segedunum' was a Roman fort at modern-day Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, England, UK.
The fort lies at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall (in Wallsend) and on the banks of the River Tyne. It was in use as a garrison for approximately 300 years. Its estimated population around 250ad was 600.
The site of the fort now contains the excavated remains of the buildings' foundation of the original fort, as well as a reconstructed Roman military bathhouse based on excavated examples at Vindolanda and Chesters forts. A museum contains items of interest that were found when the site was excavated. A portion of the original wall is visible across the street from the museum, and a reconstruction of what the whole wall might have looked like when new.
