The Provinces of the Roman Empire 69

The Provinces of the Roman Empire 69

[308] The arguments of Mr. B. W. Henderson (_English Hist. Review_,

1903, 1-23) for a different advance seem to me to be based on a

misconception of some of the evidence. Thus, there is no tile of

Leg. ix. at Leicester, nor any trace yet noted of Leg. ii. Aug. at

Cirencester or Gloucester.
