History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Whilst I agree thst there is no absolute evidence that Wigan is Coccium the perceived knowledge is highly likely that it is.The geography of the town lends itself to being of some strategic value.As for no evidence of there being military presence in the town, I clearly remember roman military finds , from the town ,being on display in Haigh Hall.Where these have now disappeared to , goodness knows.Perhaps they are keeping the other lost doldier company -the Boer war soldier.
