Exeter began life in c. AD 55 as one of the most important legionary bases within early Roman Britain, and for two brief periods in the early and late 60s AD, Exeter was a critical centre of Roman power within the new province. When the legion moved to Wales the fortress was converted into the civitas capital for the Dumnonii. Its development as a town was, however, relatively slow, reflecting the gradual pace at which the region as a whole adapted to being part of the Roman world. The only evidence we have for occupation within Exeter between the 5th and 8th centuries is for a church in what was later to become the Cathedral Close. In the late 9th century, however, Exeter became a defended burh, and this was followed by the revival of urban life. Exeter's wealth was in part derived from its central role in the south-west's tin industry, and by the late 10th century Exeter was the fifth most productive mint in England. Exeter's importance continued to grow as it became an episcopal and royal centre, and excavations within Exeter have revealed important material culture assemblages that reflect its role as an international port. 606 $aHistory / Europe / Medieval$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Europe / Great Britain$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Ancient$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Europe / Medieval 615 7$aHistory / Europe / Great Britain 615 7$aHistory / Ancient 615 0$aHistory 702 $aRippon$b Stephen 702 $aHolbrook$b Neil 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633942103321 996 $aRoman and Medieval Exeter and their Hinterlands$92987615 997 $aUNINA
