IN treating of the town of Cirencester, Mr. Rudder observes that « This is called an ancient city, and, according to the opinion of some persons, of fo high antiquity as to have been built by the Britons before the Roman invasion. But that the Britons had then any cities or towns, in the sense we now understand those terms, is a notion very contrary to the testimony of ancient authors of the greatest credit as to that matter. Cæfar indeed speaks of their towns, but he tells us what they were ;* • Oppidum autem * De Bello Gallico, l. 4. c. 21. p 120. B VOL. XI. Britanni Britanni vorant quum sylvas impeditas vallo atque folla munierunt.' The Britons call that a town, when they have surrounded and fenced about their thickest woods with a bank and a ditch. And Xiphilin speaking of the Mæotæ, or inhabitants of the now most northeça counties of England, afferts that they had neither walls nor cities; what passed under the name of cities in Britain, being, according to Strabo, no other than groves. These authorities will ftand their ground against the fund and loose conje&ures of later writers; and upon this ground I shall venture to say that Cirencester was built by the Romans. The precise time of its founda. tion I do not pretend to ascertain, but I apprehend it might be very soon after they had established themselves in Britain. Three great roads meeting in this place, rendered it the most desirable lituation for a town that can be conceived, and no doubt that circumflance induced them to make choice of it. “ Being the metropolis of the large province of the Dobuni, was called Corinium Dobunorum, and became a very eminent station for the Roman armies. Antoninus places it at the distance of fourteen miles from Glevum or Gloucefter, in the thirteenth Iter from Isca, now. Caerleon in Monmouthshire, to Callevá, which Dr. Gale will have to be Henley, the Calleva Attrebatum, or chief city of the Attrebatii, whilst others give that honour to Wallingford in Berkshire. " The wall and ditch which inclosed the old city, were more than two miles in circumference. Dr. Stukeley, about the year 1723, traced them quite round, as Leland had done before him ; but even in Leland's time there were but few vestiges of the wall reinaining; -Sic omnia fatis In pejus ruere, ac retro fublapfa referri. VIRG: * He tells may yet, walking on the bank of Churne, evidently perceyve the cumpace of foundation of towers fumtyme standing in the waul.' And nere to the place wher the right goodly clothing mylle was set up a late by the abbate, was broken down the ruine of 'an old tower toward making of the mylle waultes, in the which place was found a quadrate stone fawllen down afore, but broken in aliquot fruftra, wherein was a Romain inscription, of the which, one fcantly lettered that faw yt, told me, that he might percéyve Pont.

In the middes of the old town in a medow, was found a flore de refellis verficoloribus, and by the town noftris temporibus was fownd a broken Thank bone of a horse, the mouth closed with a pegge; the which taken owi, a shepard found yt fillid nummis ar. gentsis.
