Coordinates 53°28'N, 2°14'WForming part of the English Core Cities Group, often described as the second city of the UK,[4] and the "Capital of the North",[5] Manchester today is a centre of the arts, the media, higher education and commerce. In a poll of British business leaders published in 2006, Manchester was regarded as the best place in the UK to locate a business.[6] A report commissioned by Manchester Partnership, published in 2007, showed Manchester to be the "fastest-growing city" economically.[7] It is the third most visited city in the United Kingdom by foreign visitors.[8] Manchester was the host of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and among its other sporting connections are its two Premier League football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.[9] The name Manchester originates from the Ancient Roman name Mamucium, thought to be a Latinisation of an original Celtic name (possibly meaning "breast-like hill" from mamm- = "breast"), plus Anglo-Saxon ceaster = "town", which is derived from Latin castra = "camp".[13] Manchester is also the 10th most common place name in the United States. The Brigantes were the major Celtic tribe of what is now Northern England who had a stronghold in the locality at a sandstone outcrop on which Manchester Cathedral now stands, opposite the banks of the River Irwell.[14] Their territory extended across the fertile lowland of what is now Salford and Stretford. Following the Roman conquest of Britain in the 1st century, General Agricola ordered the construction of a Roman fort in the year 79 named Mamucium to ensure Roman interests with Deva Victrix (Chester) and Eboracum (York) were protected from the Brigantes.[14] Central Manchester has been permanently settled since this time.[15] A stabilised fragment of foundations of the final version of the Roman fort is visible in Castlefield. The Roman habitation of Manchester probably ended around the 3rd century; the vicus, or civilian settlement appears to have been abandoned by the mid 3rd century although the fort may have supported a small garrison until the late 3rd or early 4th centuries.[16] By the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 the focus of settlement had shifted to the confluence of the rivers Irwell and Irk.[17] Much of the wider area was laid waste in the subsequent Harrying of the North.[18][19]

As the last tooth to erupt , the third molar or wisdom tooth is the most likely to be prevented from doing so in a crowded mouth. Tooth and jaw size incompatibility or possibly an evolutionary tendency towards decreased jaw size could be the cause of discomfort.
