Roman Britain around AD 410, without speculative provincial borders.
Britannia Secunda or Britannia II (Latin for "Second Britain") was one of the provinces of the Diocese of "the Britains" created during the Diocletian Reforms at the end of the 3rd century.[1] It was probably created after the defeat of the usurper Allectus by Constantius Chlorus in AD 296 and was mentioned in the c. 312 Verona List of the Roman provinces. Its position and capital remain uncertain, although it probably lay further from Rome than Britannia I. At present, most scholars place Britannia II in Yorkshire and northern England. If so, its capital would have been Eboracum (York).
The traditional arrangement of the late Roman provinces after Camden,[2] placing Secunda in Wales. On the basis of modern archaeology, Prima at least reached as far north as Corinium.Another possible arrangement of the late Roman provinces, with Secunda in northern England
