A commentary on Antoninus his itinerary, or Journies of the Romane Empire, so far as it concerneth Britain: wherein the first foundation of our cities, lawes, and government, according to the Roman policy, are clearly discovered; whence all succeeding ages have drawn their originall. The ancient names of their garrisons within the island are restored to the modern, with their site, and true distances; their military Waies, and wall; with many antiquities, medalls, inscriptions, and urnes, are recovered from the ruine of time. A work very usefull for all historians, antiquaries, philologists, and more particularly for the student of the laws.
