More about this scene
These tall commercial buildings are still there today, marred somewhat by new frontages. Exeter was the furthest west that the Romans ventured. They halted on the banks of the Exe in about 50AD and founded the town of Isca. The West Country see was transferred to the safety of the Exeter city walls in 1049.
