Brief History of Nottinghamshire:
Roman:
The Trent seems to have been the main Roman boundary in 47AD with the Fosse Way and Ermine Street providing the main routes for the Leio IX Hispana. Sometime after this the army moved into the the county to subdigate the Brigantes.
A major Roman town on the Trent was at Littleborough on its western bank. Several villas exist in the county including Southwell where current excavations are underway.
