Engraving of Caerwent Roman town, from Coxe's 'Historical Tour of Monmouthshire', 1801

Engraving of Caerwent Roman town, from Coxe's 'Historical Tour of Monmouthshire', 1801 Coxe describes his visit to Caerwent Roman town as follows: 'In little more than a mile, I passed through the neat village of Crick, from which place the road continues in a strait direction to Caerwent, and was undoubtedly the site of a Roman way ... A gentle rise leads to the eastern gate of Caerwent, the 'Venta Silurum' of the Romans, now reduced to an inconsiderable village.'
