ON ANCIENT CAMPS AND EARTHWORKS. 105 
Divitiacus, for we do not learn that Verulam had fallen 
into the hands of Cassivilaunus by any recent act of 
conquest. There exist some interesting lines of earth- 
work, which seem to have been made with a view to 
separate the new conquests from the country of the 
Trinobantes. They have been as yet only partially 
examined. 
It is possible that the same monarch who settled the 
boundaries of the Catyeuchlani may also have pushed for- 
ward the Belgic frontier to the Wansdyke. The Cantii, 
the Attrebates, the Catyeuchlani, were probably all three 
Belgie races, and as regards the Attrebates, we are able to 
make this assertion positively. Allthree seem to have been 
subject to the Imperium of Cassivilaunus ; but there is 
nothing to lead us to the inference that the Southern 
Belg® acknowledged his supremacy. As so few years 
separated the reign of this prince from that of Divitiacus, 
it is a reasonable presumption that he was, if not a de- 
scendant, at least a successor of the Gaulish monarch, and 
consequently that the limits of his dominion defined the 
British Imperium of his great predecessor. If so, the 
course of conquest which Divitiacus traced out must have 
nearly coincided with that followed by later invaders, by 
Cesar, Plautius, and by the Norman William; and con- 
sequently this celebrated chief could not have been the 
conqueror who reared the Wansdyke. Thus we see that 
Collinson appears to be in error on this point, at least if 
we admit the correetness of the above reasoning. As to 
the period assigned by him to the first entry of the Belg® 
into this country, about 213 2.c., and 250 before Diviti- 
acus, he may be correct, although the date can only be 
conjectural, as it may have been five, or four, or three 
eenturies before the Christian /Era. It is clear from
