Was Wigan Coccium? Roman Archaeology in Wigan. Presented by Ian Miller to members of WLHHS #Romans

Was Wigan Coccium? On Monday 10th January 2022 at 7pm at Real Crafty in Wigan the esteemed professional archaeologist Ian Miller presented compelling evidence that Wigan was indeed Coccium. Wigan has an extraordinary history which has been enriched and expanded by recent archaeological investigations, especially those relating to the town’s Roman origins. There is compelling evidence to show that the Roman army had occupied the area before the end of the first century AD. Recent archaeological excavations along Millgate showed conclusively that Wigan has a very important Roman heritage. The presentation was for members only (it was necessary in this instance to restrict the numbers attending and to give priority to members) However, it was recorded and uploaded to the WLHHS YouTube Channel.
