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

Except Scotland and Ireland. They could not overcome the resistance from the Scots and Irish.
ReplyDeleteI can only understand Romani ite Domum.
ReplyDeleteAnd they were bastards who liked to enslave everybody, just like democrats.
ReplyDeleteAnd just like everybody else in those times. As the Greeks used to say, "The strong do what they will, the weak endure what they must."
