Viroconium or Uriconium, formally Viroconium Cornoviorum, was a Roman city, one corner of which is now occupied by Wroxeter, a small village in Shropshire, England, about 5 miles (8 km) east-south-east of Shrewsbury. At its peak, Viroconium is estimated to have been the 4th-largest Roman settlement in Britain, a civitas with a population of more than 15,000. The settlement probably lasted until the end of the 7th century or the beginning of the 8th. Extensive remains can still be seen.

Roman ruins at Viroconium Cornoviorum, photographed during excavation by Francis Bedford and digitally restored. According to English Heritage, the photograph dates to 1859 and none of the hypocaust system extant in this photograph has survived today as the modern pilae stacks are replicas of the originals, which were taken by souvenir hunters during the late 19th century.
