Coria was a Roman fort and settlement in what is now Northumberland, England, about two and a half miles south of Hadrian's Wall, founded around AD 84 at the junction of the north-south road Dere Street with the River Tyne and the east-west Stanegate frontier road linking Coria to Luguvalium, modern Carlisle. It grew from a timber and turf military outpost into a stone-built town, and after Roman forces withdrew to Hadrian's Wall around AD 163 it became a civilian and commercial center serving the regional lead, iron, coal and agricultural trade. Its ruins are under the guardianship of English Heritage in the village of Corbridge today.
