[Footnote 3: This does not actually pass through Leicester, but is twelve miles away at nearest.] The principal Roman stations near were: Ratae --Leicester; Verometum --Borough Hill; Manducosedum--Mancetter; Benones --High Cross. In this region Roman remains have been found at: Leicester,[4] Rothley, Wanlip, Hasby, Bottesfold, Hinckley, Sapcote, and Melton Mowbray. In 1771 a Roman milestone of the time of Hadrian (76-138) was discovered at a spot two miles from Leicester. Near Blaby, over the Soar, is a bridge locally known as the Roman Bridge. [Footnote 4: There is to be seen _in situ_ beneath the Great Central Station here a beautiful and almost perfect tesselated pavement.] LINCOLN.--_Llyn_--a deep pool, and _Colonia_. The Britons called it _Lind-coit_. The name _Linn-dun_, of which _Lindum_ is the Romanised version, means _The hill-fort of the pool_. The territory hereabouts was first settled by Belgae; who, however, at the time of Caesar's invasion, had become a mixed race with the real Britons. The country was conquered by the Romans about 70 A.D., and formed part of the province of Flavia Caesariensis. The tribe which occupied Lincolnshire were the Coritani, who had Lindum and Ratae for their tribal centres. In this territory remains of British camps are found at Barrow, Folkingham, Ingoldsby, Revesby, and Wells. Also traces of Roman camps are discoverable at Alkborough, Caistor, Gainsborough, Gadney Hill, near Holbeach, Honington, near Grantham, South Ormsby, and Yarborough. The Roman roads in this neighbourhood are nearly perfect. There is Ermine Street on the eastern side of the Cliff Hills and the Fosse Way, running S.W. from Lincoln. There is a famous arch--the Newport--at Lincoln. It is one of the most perfect specimens of Roman architecture in England. It is sunk fully eleven feet below the present level of the street, and has two smaller arches on each side, the one to the west being concealed by an adjoining house. The Ermine Street passes through this gate, running north from it for eleven or twelve miles as straight as an arrow. Many Roman coins and ornaments have been found in the immediate vicinity of this gate. In the Cloister garden of the Cathedral are preserved a tesselated pavement and the sepulchral slab of a Roman warrior. LONDON.--Londonum, Londinium, the Augusta of the Romans. _Llyn Din_--the Black Llyn or Lake, or perhaps from Celto-Saxon _dun_, or _don_--a hill fort. This fort may have been situated where abouts St. Paul's now stands, or, in a more extended form, it may have been constituted by Tower Hill, Cornhill, and Ludgate Hill; bounded thus by the Thames on the South, the Fleet on the West, and the Fen of Moorfields and Finsbury (afterwards by Hounsditch and the Tower) on the East.
