"The Ruins of the Roman City of Uriconium, at Wroxeter, near Shrewsbury" by Thomas Wright is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The text serves as a guide and detailed examination of the archaeological findings at Wroxeter, particularly focusing on the remains of the ancient Roman city of Uriconium.
