EOMAN OCCUPATION OF CORNWALL. 201 



still doubtful, and the errors of transcription have rendered the 

 figures often unreliable, but Antoninus gives the distance from 

 London to Rochester, in two instances, as 27 Eoman miles, which 

 is precisely the distance by the ordnance map in British miles. 

 Also the further distance from Rochester to Canterbury as 25 

 Eoman miles, repeated in another table, the true distance in 

 British miles being 26. Thus our British miles may be approxi- 

 mately applied to test the positions of the stations mentioned in 

 the Itineraries. 



Mr. Sopwith found the distance between two Roman mile-stones 

 to be 1698 2-5ths yards, but the position of one of the mile-stones 

 appears to be uncertain.*" 



Thus by applying this test we are enabled to fix the site of 

 Moridunum at Honiton, and assuming Tamara to be on the 

 Tamar, the position of Voluba cannot be further west than the 

 Fowey. Eor Cenea no distance is given, but its probable site is 

 on the Fal at Tregony, or the earthworks near Grampound.
