Carpow

Carpow is a village located 10 miles (16km) southeast of Perth, in the council area of Perth and Kinross in Scotland.
It was the location of a Roman Fort one mile to the east of the confluence of the river Earn with the river Tay. No Roman Remains are visible today.

It was founded in 210 CE and occupied until in 215 CE by the Legio II Augusta and the Legio VI Victrix during Septimius Severus' Caledonian Campaign.
Roman coins found in the fort date from Hadrian (117-138 CE) to Caracalla (211-217 CE).
Carpow is associated with a site named ‘Horrea Classis’ in the Ravenna Cosmography (compiled in the 8th century CE). Horrea classis means naval warehouses.

In 197 CE, a series of attacks on the Antonine Wall forced the Romans to return to Caledonia.
Septimius Severus arrived in Britannia and conducted the Campaign between 208-211 CE.
He first reoccupied the Antonine Wall and then rebuilt and reoccupied other Forts to garrison the 40,000 soldiers sent to conquer Caledonia.
The Forts to the east of the Antonine Wall were Cramond, Trimontium, Carpow and Inchtuthil Legionary Fortress on the river Tay to the North.
In 211 CE, Septimius Severus died at York in 211 CE and the Antonine Wall was abandoned.
