We may conclude, that if she had been of age sufficient to be converted
by St. Paul, she would about this time have been too old to have
children, and be accounted beautiful. But times and all circumstances
conspire sufficiently to make her the daughter of _Cogidunus_.
Famous was the contest between Neptune and Minerva in naming the
city of Athens, which they referred to the umpire of Apollo: he, to
avoid the _odium_ of appearing partial on either side, left it to the
decision of mortal men, as Varro tells us: howsoever, these two deities
are happily reconciled in a joint partnership of the dedication of this
temple. The antiquaries are still at variance about the ancient name
of this city. Therefore, Sir, that I may not be wholly an unworthy
fellow-traveller, _passibus etsi longe inequalibus_, I shall venture,
if Minerva is not averse, to offer my thoughts towards a recovery of
the Roman denomination of Chichester, which appears plainly to have
been an eminent and early station: though the journey of Antoninus
reaches it not, yet it would be strange if Ravennas should have passed
it by, who is very particular in this part of the island.

[Sidenote: TAB. LXXXI.]
I observe the river this city stands upon is called _Lavant_. There
are three towns synonymous higher up, East, West, and Middle Lavant;
whence I think we may conclude, that the true and original name of
the river was _Antona_, not an uncommon appellative of such in the
Celtic dialect: Mr. Baxter, voce _Anderida_, calls it _Ant_. Likewise
a town called _Hampnet_ stands upon it, which seems some corruption
of _Antona_. Now there are two rivers of this name falling into the
southern ocean; that which we spoke of lately, the Itchin, running by
_Trausantum_; and this we are upon: therefore it appears natural and
necessary that they should some way or other be distinguished from
one another: the former _Trausantum_, Mr. Baxter, voce _Antona_, says
signifies the farther _Antona_; and in this same sense, but in a later
manner, Ninius calls it _Trahannon_; as our monk Ravennas, _Onna_, by
a softer pronunciation. Our river then must be the hither or nearer
_Antona_, however actually distinguished; which we must find out.
Looking into that author generally called _Anonymus_, though I suppose
his true name is _Ravennas_, as born there, (it being at that time
the method of the ecclesiastics to take the sirname of their native
towns) he thus mentions some cities hereabouts: _Caleba Atrebatum_,
_Anderesio_, _Miba_, _Mutuantonis_, _Lemanis_, _Dubris_, _&c._ Now
I imagine _Mutuantonis_ is the place here sought for. This author
probably transcribed these names from inspection of a map, sometimes
casting his eye along a road, sometimes a river, sea-coast or the
like, and sometimes _per saltum_: when he has been reciting many
names of cities in the inland parts as far as _Corinium Dobunorum_,
or Cirencester, he returns to the south-east part of the island, and
begins a new period, as above. Directly in his way to the sea-coasts
is _Caleba_, or Farnham, as I shall show in proper place: next is
_Anderida_; which cannot be this place, for the reason you brought out
of Henry of Huntingdon: no doubt it is somewhere upon the Sussex coast;
but its particular site I shall not take upon me now to determine.
_Miba_ is with good reason thought to be Midhurst; then very naturally
follows _Mutuantonis_, our Chichester: hence he takes his route
eastward towards _Lemanis_, _Dubris_, _&c._ in Kent. In short, the
evidence is this: the author is plainly describing these parts; and
where should _Mutuantonis_ stand, but upon the river _Antona_? and it
does not appear, that any other river hereabouts is so called; or, if
it did, _Anderida_ may very well thither be referred, which cannot
possibly to this place. I take the name of _lavant_, or _mutuant_, to
be synonymous words in the British language, to distinguish it, as we
said, from _trausant_;, for _llafar_ signifies _sonorous_, _loquax_;
and _mwth_ is _citus_, _velox_; either of which, prefixed to _Antona_,
describe this rapid or noisy river; and in effect we find it remarkably
so. Dr. Holland in his notes at the bottom of Mr. Camden expresly
observes, that this river, though sometimes quite dry, at others, and
that very often in the midst of summer, is so full as to run very
violently: this, no doubt, is owing to its rise in the neighbouring
high grounds to the north; for from them it must needs fall with an
impetuous torrent. Further, it may possibly be derived from the British
_llai minor_, signifying the _lesser Antona_, from its short course;
the consonant _v_, or _f_ which is its equivalent, being interposed
_euphoniæ gratia_: or if Mr. Baxter’s correction of _Mantantonis_ be
thought just, then it signifies the mouth of the river _Antona_; and
Chichester now stands very near its inlet into the sea, and formerly
nearer. What way soever we take it, it seems reasonable to conclude
this is the place. Though it was not properly a sea-port town, yet
it is plainly near enough for the establishment of the _collegium
fabrorum_ here; and the vast plenty of wood from the adjoining
forest favoured their work, whether of timber or the forge. Since
this inscription, there was found a Mosaic pavement in Mrs. Downes’s
garden; and when that was pulled in pieces as usual, a brass coin was
discovered under it of Nero and Drusus Cæs. on one side, represented on
horseback; on the other, _C. Cæsar Divi aug. pron. aug. p. m. tr. p._
+IIII.+ _pp._ which no doubt was there deposited to show the _æra_ of
that work.
[Sidenote: TAB. LXXXII.]
A little way out of the city northward, we passed by a Roman camp,
called Brill, I suppose Bury hill, in Ogilby’s maps called _Beauty’s
bank_: the Roman road called Stone-street causeway, goes directly
north-east from hence through this country, and by Darking church-yard
in Surrey; then falls into the Hermen-street at Woodcote.
[Sidenote: TAB. XLIII.]
[Sidenote: +Mida.+]
St. Roc’s hill is a fine elevation, with a spacious circular camp
on the top, of a round form, a _castrum æstivum_, belonging to
_Mantantonis_. Here is a foundation of a chapel, or a beacon, perhaps
both: the reader may gather an idea of the view here from plate 43. At
Midhurst is a fine old seat called Cowdrey, belonging to the Browns
viscount Montacute: it stands in a valley incompassed with lawns, hills
and woods, thrown into a park, the river running underneath. It is a
large house of stone, consisting of one court: the hall is cieled of
Irish oak after the ancient manner; the walls painted with architecture
by Roberti, the statues by Goupé, the stair-case by Pelegrini: the room
at the end of the hall is of Holbein’s painting, where that famous
old artist has described the exploits of Henry VIII. before Bulloign,
Calais, his landing at Portsmouth, his magnificent entry into London,
&c. In the other rooms are many excellent pictures of the ancestors
of the family, and other history-painting of Holbein’s, relating to
their actions in war. The whole circuit of rooms above stairs are
stately and well furnished, adorned with many pictures: there is a long
gallery with the twelve apostles as big as the life; another very neat
one, wainscotted with Norway oak, where are many ancient whole-length
pictures of the family in their proper habits, which is a very elegant
notion: there are four history pieces; two copies of Raphael’s marriage
of Cupid and Psyche; several old religious and military paintings from
Battle-abbey. The road to Midhurst to us appeared Roman, and therefore
strengthens the supposition of its being _Mida_.
St. Roc’s hill is upon the chalky down running east and west: north of
it to Farnham it is sandy, full of _erica_; but the valleys are rich,
warm and woody. The heaths between Farnham and Godalmin are full of
barrows. Ferndon hill in the way to Godalmin is very steep northwards,
and of an hour’s descent; which you rise to insensibly: it runs east
and west.
[Sidenote: +Calleva Atrebatum.+]
[Sidenote: TAB. XLIV. 2d Vol.]
At Farnham is the bishop of Winchester’s palace, a magnificent ancient
structure of the castle-form, deeply moted, and strongly walled about,
with towers at proper distance: it stands upon the edge of a hill,
where is a fine park. One large and broad street of the town, below
hill, fronts the castle; the main of the rest of the town consists of
a long strait street crossing it at right angles, which is the Roman
road coming from Winchester: the river runs parallel to it on the
south: this is a fine rich soil with much sand in it, and has an
extraordinary propriety for the growth of hops. This place I take to
be the _Caleva Atrebatum_;[140] which because it is a notion of my
own advancing, it requires that I should a little enlarge upon it,
and propose it to your discerning judgement. This has been hitherto
matter of dispute among antiquaries, and I think cannot otherwise
be settled than in fixing it at this place: it will make this VIIth
journey of Antoninus and some more very clear, that otherwise labour
under insuperable difficulties: therefore this I propose to be the true
scheme of that journey.

We have no difference in the copies, but in the sum total at top, which
is owing only to a transposition of the letters C and X. therefore all
we have to do is to find out the towns; the particular numbers being
indisputably right, and rightly cast up in the _Suritan_ edition;
and all the places that admit any question, are only _Calleva_ and
_Pontes_, which in this manner mutually prove one another, as being
absolutely conformable to geography, and the nearest way one should
chuse to go at this day, and having from Southampton a Roman road
accompanying all the way. This summer I rode through Winchester and
Farnham, through Alresford and Alton, and observed in many places
signs sufficient of that nature; though it is horridly out of repair,
and even in the midst of summer very bad, notwithstanding such plenty
of materials every where to mend it: this has obliged coaches and
horsemen frequently to make excursions for their ease and safety. Mr.
Aubury likewise pronounces it a Roman road long since in his manuscript
collections. Between Farnham and Alton the bank is visible, in several
places between Alresford and Alton: the right reverend author of the
additions to Camden takes notice of it. The distance is twenty two
miles, as in the Itinerary; but to Wallingford, where Mr. Camden places
it, it is thirty; to Henley somewhat more: beside, from the one you
must cross the Thames three times, from the other twice in the way
to London; a thing the Romans would certainly avoid, if possible:
but from Farnham by way of Stanes is the direct road, and distances
correspondent as before.

_Calleva_ is again mentioned in the XIIIth and XIVth journeys, both
which I have already corrected; and they mutually confirm one another,
and take away all difficulties when they are considered together.
Lastly, _Calleva_ is mentioned in the XVth journey of Antoninus: I
shall exhibit it in this form, which I conceive to be its original one.
We have cleared all the other parts of it before, where it differs from
this in the printed copies.

Perhaps the last X in the sum total was corrupted into a V after the
station was dropped out. The first part of it here establishes the site
of _Calleva_ in respect to _Venta Belgarum_; as in the XIIIth and XIVth
journeys in respect to _Spina_; so that it is proved from different
points of a triangle, and as it were by mathematical demonstration.
I imagine the occasion of over-sight in this matter is owing to Mr.
Camden’s settling the _Atrebates_ in Berkshire; and his authority,
no doubt, with every one is of the greatest weight deservedly: yet
I suppose his only reason for it is because he thought Wallingford
the _Calleva Atrebatum_, as having some resemblance to his supposed
_Gallena_. In his Roman map he has set these _Atrebates_ partly north
of the Thames in Oxfordshire, where himself puts the _Ancalites_, and
partly south, where rightly he fixes the _Bibroci_ in Berkshire: this
is in my judgement too far northward. I doubt not but the _Bibroci_
inhabited Berkshire intirely to the Thames, as I proved in a former
letter; to which we may add, that if, as he says, this country was
called by the Saxons _Berrocscyre_, there can be no difficulty in
asserting the word derived from _Bibroci_. The _Atrebates_ came
undoubtedly from _Gallia Belgica_, where were a people of the same
name upon the sea-coasts; and if we place them here in Surrey about
this their capital, they may with some propriety with Mr. Camden be
said here in Britain to live over-against their own country, where
Ptolemy places them in the maritime parts upon the Sein; but not if he
sends them up to the top of the Thames: nor is it probable they should
have penetrated so far up the country, even beyond their brethren the
_Belgæ_, by all allowed the most powerful colony of transmarine people
at that time. The _Segontiaci_ as well as _Bibroci_, on this side the
Thames, would confessedly oppose such passage; therefore, if we give
Sussex to the _Regni_, we must reserve Surrey for these _Atrebates_,
and Farnham their capital; and this is agreeable to Ptolemy, who places
them next the _Cantii_.
[Sidenote: TAB. LVI.]
A little without Farnham eastward, the road divides into two branches
with an acute angle: one goes to Guildford and Darking, where it
meets the Stane-street coming from Chichester; the other to Stanes,
which I prosecuted to Farnborow, probably a station or inn, or camp
to secure the road over this wild country; for it is deep sand from
Farnham to Egham: but where in particular the Roman road went is not
easy to define, because of the extraordinary sandiness of the whole
country:[141] but at Frimley, near here, about sixteen year ago,
an urn with Roman coins and intaglia’s was found: Mr. Titchburn had
them. This is directly in the way to Farnbarow. I suppose there was
a Roman way from Silchester through Stretley, Hartley row, Harford
bridge, which signifies _trajectus militaris_, but from the mooryness
of the soil is quite worn away. I take this road to be a continuation
of that coming from the Bath by Marlborough;[142] but at Stanes I saw
our road very evidently go through the fields west of the bridge, and
directly over-against it; for it must be understood that the Romans
drew a road, as I said before, under the Icening-street, and parallel
to it, which went from _Regnum_ to London. This is what we have been
upon, and composes this VIIth _Iter_: From thence it passed through
Colchester to the sea-coasts of Suffolk. Now between Stanes and London
it is notorious, being the common road at present, till you come to
Turnham green:[143] there the present road through Hammersmith and
Kensington leaves it; for it passes more northward upon the common,
where to a discerning eye the trace of it is manifest; then it goes
over a little brook called from it Stanford-bridge, and comes into the
Acton road at a common, and a bridge, a little west of Camden house, so
along Hyde-park wall, and crosses the Watling-street at Tyburn, then
along Oxford-road. But of this part of it, going to Old-street, north
of London, I spoke before.

[Sidenote: +Pontes.+]
[Sidenote: TAB. LXXXIV.]
Between Oxford-street and Stanes, this Roman road was originally drawn
through Brentford, which undoubtedly was a mansion between them; and
this is a very strait line: I rode the broken part of it between Acton
road and Turnham green: it is still a narrow strait way, keeping its
original direction, but full of dangerous sloughs, being a clayey soil
and never repaired: it butts full upon Stanes bridge, and then beyond
it passes forward in a strait line through gardens and yards into the
corn-fields, where its ridge is still left, the highest part of all
the field, though they plough close to it on both sides; and it is now
a road for three quarters of a mile; then it enters a narrow lane,
and at last degenerates into a foot-path toward Thorp-lea, in the way
to Farnham; the common road leaving it all this while in the way to
Egham. So that undoubtedly Stanes was the _Pontes_ of Antoninus;[144]
the distances of 22 miles on both sides answering the fact, and the
Itinerary; with which I shall at present conclude mine in the words of
the poet,
