Noviomagus Cantiacorum
Noviomagus, also known as Noviomagus Cantiacorum (Latin for "Noviomagus of the Cantiaci") to distinguish it from other places with that name, was a Roman settlement in southeastern Britain. It is named on Iter II of the Antonine Itinerary, ten Roman miles from Londinium and nineteen to Vagniacis, thence nine miles to Durobrivae. Its location has been given as modern Crayford, but is now suggested to be near West Wickham following excavation of the Roman site there; the distances also fit West Wickham better than Crayford.Thousands of sherds of pottery and hundreds of Roman coins have been found near West Wickham, but only slight evidence of housing. The main activity at the site in the Roman period may have been trading in an open-air market, rather than settlement.
