The Cornovii were an ancient Celtic tribe that inhabited parts of what is now England during the late Iron Age and early Roman period. They primarily resided in the region known as Shropshire and surrounding areas, with their territory extending into Wales. The Cornovii were known for their agricultural practices and their involvement in trade. During the Roman conquest of Britain, the Cornovii initially resisted Roman rule but eventually came under Roman influence. The tribe's capital was likely located at Viroconium, which became an important Roman settlement. The Cornovii's culture and way of life were significantly impacted by Roman occupation.
