Tripontium is the remains of a Roman town lying on Watling Street near present-day Newton, Warwickshire, but also partly lying north of Watling Street in Leicestershire. Tripontium was established as a military frontier post soon after the Roman invasion in AD 47. It later developed into a civilian town which was inhabited for around 400 years, before being abandoned in the late 4th century. Excavations revealed that it was an important Romano-British town, with large public bath houses, an extensive administrative building, and an inn (mansio). It is within the council area of Rugby (Warwickshire).
