Vicus

The vicus was an area outside Roman camps or cities where either the local indigenous peoples or the camp followers would dwell. The is a group which specialises in re-enacting the vicus, and you can find out more about them here: http://www.vicus.org.uk/
In Chester it is thought that the name may have been corrupted and have given rise to the area of Chester now known as Vicars Cross.
