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
