And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Those Romans were everywhere, nearly.
Roman Milestone found in the Artle Beck, Caton in 1803. It was made during the years AD 127-138 when the Emperor Hadrian was in power. It shows that Lancaster is four (Roman) miles away but does not include Lancaster’s Roman name in any recognisable form.
The inscription reads:
IMP(eratori) CAES(ari) TR(aiano) HADRIANO AVG(usto) Pontifici) M(aximo) T(ribunicine) P(otestatis) CO(n)S(uli) III P(atri) P(atriae) LM(ilia) P(assuum) IIII
For the Emperoe Ceaser Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Chief Priest, Holder of Tribuncian Power. Consul for the third time, Father of his Country, (from L…) four miles
