Quote:I would find it of great interest to hear other opinions of just where this place of Epiacum might be for I cannot agree that this latest idea of it being this fort.
Their identification is presumably based on Rivet & Smith's Place-names of Roman Britain (p.360 to be precise), taking it from Ptolemy 2.3.10. R&S conclude with 'Probably the Roman fort at Whitley Castle'.

Don't think any more recent evidence has come to light ;-)
