I 477 ] 
In the Tabula, Theodojiana or Reutingeri , fup- 
pofed to be made about the Time of Theodofius the 
Great , occur Two Stations, Ifca Dumnoniorum, Ri- 
duno, which exadly anfwcrs to Ifca Dumnoniorum 
and Moriduno of Antoninus. 
More might be extracted, to prove that the Geo- 
graphy of Dumnonium or c Danmonium> was well 
known to the Romans. But let us now confider, 
that fince the Ifca Dumnoniorum is faid by Rtolemy to 
have the Legio Secunda Augufta ftationed at ir, and 
fo great and exad Account is given of the Civitates 
(7toA«s) & Flumina , in the fame Author, as well as 
Antoninus , Chorographia RavennatiSy and Tabula 
Reutingeriy can we fuppofe, that the Romans could 
be ignorant of the Tin the Product of Danmoniumy fo 
often mentioned in the Grecian Authors? and jfince 
that their own Name of Dunmonium* was by them- 
felvcs changed from the Britifh, Dun Mwyny a Hill, 
or Country of Metals; agreeable to which Etymo- 
logy we have at this Day a Place abounding in Me- 
tals, called Mwyny as St. Mwyn Parifh, within Two 
Miles of the above-defcribed Barrows . Befdes, it 
muft be contrary to Reafon, and the Roman Genius, 
[Vita Agric. Sed. 12.3 ( Nobis nec deeft Avaritiay 
fays Tacitus , their own Countryman) to imagine, 
that the Romans , called Raptores OrbiSy (by the fame 
Author) fhould negled to hunt after the Metals of 
Tin and Lead, which were valued as the Rewards of 
Vidory. Tacitus has a beautiful Paflage to this 
Purpofe, lib. Sed. 12.] Fert Britannia Aurum & 
Argentum , & alia Met alia, p.retium Viliorig. Again : 
I hope it will not be tedious to make fome Extrads 
out of Galgacus s Speech to his Army, going to 
* Rather Vunmunium q. s. Dun mwyn turn.
