It is not said, nor does it appear, that all these twenty-three stations
were exactly upon the line of the Wall itself. It is very plain indeed,
says Horsley, that according to the Notitia, SEGEDUNUM was the first,
for that immediately follows the title _per lineam valli_; but he has
not told us expressly at what place or station they end.[28] Those
stations which were not on the Wall were probably in its vicinity, and
were connected with it by military ways. The stations in this list are
manifestly, as this writer also observes, set down in some order, and
those that were near to each other are placed together;[29] so that if
we ascertain the identity of some of them, we may form a pretty correct
estimate of the position of the intermediate or neighbouring stations.
