194 On the Roman Conquest of Southern Britain, 
the first now generally identified with Wans House, near Bromham 
—the second with Folly Farm, about one mile east of Marlborough. 
The Roman villa discovered at St. Edith’s Marsh, in the parish of 
Bromham, must have been connected with the station of Verlucio 
(ep. Wilts Arch. Mag., xix., p. 299—302). Mr. A. C. Smith figures 
a die for playing hazard found at Wans House (B. & R. Ant., p. 30). 
(See also Wilts Arch, Mag., iv., p. 232). This interesting object is of 
bronze, and is of a flattened oval shape. The name of the other 
station, Cunetio, can hardly be dissociated from that of the river 
Kennet, near which it lies. Ido not, however, know how to explain 
the fact that the villages of East and West Kennet lie about five or 
six miles distant along the same road, and of course considerably to 
the west of Marlborough. Roman remains and large numbers of 
coins are found also at Mildenhall, which formed probably part of 
the same station, in all probability a large one (see the plate in 
“ Ane, Wiltshire,” ii., p. 90 and ep, Waylen’s “ Marlborough,” 
pp. 9, 10). 
Another rather important road not in the Itinerary seems to have 
passed through Cunetio, branching off from the Cirencester to Speen 
road at or near Wanborough. Its line probably was very much 
that taken by modern roads, through Chiseldon and the two Og- 
bornes, after which it becomes lost, then after leaving Cuuetio it 
runs straight through Savernake Forest,through Wilton and Marton, 
and near, but not through, Tidecombe, and on through Tangley and 
the neighbourhood of Andover to Winchester. With this road we 
naturally connect the remains found at Great Bedwyn, described as 
“a small castrametation surrounding about two acres of land,” 
which it is supposed was the centre of the station, “ and still contains 
a large quantity of bricks, tesserae, and other evidences of Roman 
habitation.” (Rev. John Ward, “ Great Bedwyn,” in Wilts Arch. 
Mag., vi., p. 261, pub. in 1860.) This station was situated about 
half-a-mile east of the road. A bronze cup, found at Rudge, near 
Froxfield, now preserved at Alnwick Castle (C. I. L., vii. p. 14 b), 
and a pavement at Littlecot also testify to Roman habitations in 
the line of the main road from Marlborough to Speen.
