Particularly in regard to its influence on the County of Wilts. 195 
Wilts, ii., p. 121) and in Waylen’s Marlborough, p. 17 and else- 
where, is interesting as directly connecting us with the great military 
work of Hadrian’s wall. It has on its rim a list of five stations in 
peculiar order, “ A Mais [=Magnis?] Aballava Uxelodumo Am- 
boclan(i)s Banna,” agreeing in several points with the anonymous 
geographer of Ravenna, as Mr. Beale Poste has pointed out. I 
should be glad of any hints as to the origin of such a curious com- 
bination of purposes as a drinking cup and a road book. 
(3) The third road in the Itinerary is also, like the other two, 
connected at one end with the great central station of Silchester, but 
terminates at the other end, at the other Isea—Isca Dumnoniorum— 
the modern Exeter. Its course is through Winchester (Venta 
Belgarum), then to Brige (Broughton), in Hants, and so near West 
Winterslow, and under Figsbury Ring (commonly but incorrectly 
known as Chlorus’ Camp), to Sorbiodunum (Old Sarum). The 
pottery found at Holbury in 1870, and the villa and other buildings 
at West Dean re-opened 1871—73, may possibly be connected with 
this road, though Dean lies some miles to the south of it. These 
antiquities at West Dean, which are of unusual interest, have been 
carefully described by the Rev. G. S. Master, formerly rector. 
(Wilts Arch. Mag., xiil., pp. 88—41, and pp. 276—79, and xxii., 
pp. 248 foll.) In his last communication on the subject he inclines 
to suppose that the place was a Roman station, the first on a road 
from Sorbiodunum to Clausentum, the nearest seaport—a place 
about which we shall speak later on. 
The further course of the main road from Winchester to Exeter, 
which of course passed through Old Sarum, is of some importance 
to the history of Salisbury. In early days it passed through 
Bemerton—I believe through the rectory garden—and so on over 
the meadows to the Race Plain. Hoare’s “ Ancient Wilts,” ii., p. 
25 and plate.) This was convenient for Wilton, but inconvenient 
in medieval times for the city of New Sarum. It was therefore 
natural that Bishop Bingham, in 1244, should wish to change the 
course of this road, so as to enable pilgrims and others to come 
readily to the Cathedral, which was then nearing its completion. 
Tn connection with this change in the road he completed the hospital
