Description

The collection of Roman inscribed stones and sculpture, together with other Roman objects found at Maryport in Cumbria, is the oldest archaeological collection in Britain still in private hands.

Today, it is housed in the Senhouse Roman Museum on Sea Brows to the north of the modern town of Maryport.

Beside the museum the earthworks of the Roman fort may still be seen, and beyond it, though not visible, lies a large civil settlement revealed through geophysical survey and the scene of two recent excavations. 'Maryport: A Roman Fort and its community' places the collection in context and describes the history of research at the site.

Maryport, although at the north-western edge of the Roman Empire, provides material of international importance for our understanding of the Roman state.
