In AD 69 the Romans arrived in the north of England. The Roman Governor, Agricola built a fort from turf and timber around AD 79. It was named Mamucium. Known today as Manchester.
The name Mamucium is Latin for ” breast shaped hill” after the shape of the rocky hill it was built on. You can find a statue of the Roman Governor Agricola in the centre of Manchester outside the Town Hall.
