An Iron Age oppidum , initially of some 70 acres (32 ha) and defended by earthen ramparts and ditches, Calleva was founded in the late first century BCE and was subsequently developed after the Roman conquest of Britain in the late first century CE into a planned town, the civitas capital of the Atrebates ( see Oppida, Britannia, Roman Empire).
