Gloucester, the Roman Glevum, 

 by Dr. Httbnee. 



[The foUowdng article, based in great part upon my paper on the walls of 

 Gloucester in the last fasiculus of the Transactions of the Cotteswold Club, is 

 from the pen of Dr. Hubner of Berlin, author of " Corpus Inscriptionum 

 Latinarum," (the work referred to below as 'C.I.L.') The article appeared 

 originally in a German Archaeological Serial, from which this translation 

 has been made by Dr. Maiee, of Cheltenham College. 



Wlile Dr. Hubker has pointed out some mistakes into which I had 

 fallen, and the correction of which will be of service in these Transactions, 

 he has at the same time thrown such new light upon the early occupation 

 of Gloucester, and the important position of the city with respect to 

 the plan of the Eoman Conquest of Britain, that this article carries our 

 distinct knowledge not only of our local but of our national history one 

 entire stage farther back than the limit to which it had previously extended. 



The foot-notes are Dr. Hubner's, except in the three or four instances 

 in which I have been obliged to give some explanation. For the sake of 

 distinction, I have given these notes of my own in italic, and initialled 

 them. 



The pages given in the text refer to those of the paper as separately 

 printed ; not to those of the volume of the Cotteswold Transactions.

The little pamphlet mentioned below, the communication of 

 which I owe to Professor Max Mullek, is a useful contribution to 

 the more accurate knowledge of Eoman Britain. (1 ) The careful 

 way in which it investigates and describes the establishment 

 and the remains of a Eoman Colony, recommend it to attentive 

 perusal, and imitation, wherever, as for instance on the Ehine, 

 similar problems are to be solved.
