Romano-British Placenames |
Page still under construction |
| A quick reference to Romano-British placenames and their
modern loci - far from complete, but it might be of some help. In square brackets are the
names as they occur in various sources, [Iter= a particular Antonine
Itinerary, RC= the Ravenna Cosmography, Pt= Ptolemy's Geography,
Not= the Notitia Dignitatum]. Ptolmey's Geography can be found on-line at Bill Thayer's site. For the Ravenna Cosmography I have used I A Richmond's, 'The British Section of the Ravenna Cosmography', Archaeologia 93, (1949). The authoritative work on the subject is currently - Rivet, A L F and Smith, Colin, The Place Names of Roman Britain, Batsford, 1979 - but this I believe is long out of print. ( I understand a revision is in prepapration} |
