Carlisle was founded as a military post by the [[Roman]]s in the late first century AD and named ''Luguvallium''; a civilian settlement grew up around the fort and later became a tribal capital. Following the departure of the Romans it continued in existence as a city for a while as capital of an independent [[British]] kingdom.
