Ancient Town-Planning

CHAPTER IX
9/33

Trier_ (Guetersloh, 1911), and Von Behr, _Trierer Jahresberichte_, i.1908.Compare Barthel, _Bonner Jahrbuecher_, cxx.106.Trier at some time or other became a 'colonia'.

When this occurred, is hotly disputed; the evidence seems to me to suggest that it was founded without colonial status and became a 'colonia latina' in the course of the first century (see Domaszewski, _Abhandlungen_, p.

153).

I have therefore inserted Trier in this chapter with Autun and not in Chapter VIII with Orange and Timgad.
These points yielded a regular plan of streets crossing at right angles, which in many of its features much resembles that of Autun.
Thirteen streets were traced running east and west, and eight (Dr.
Graven says seven but his plan shows eight) running north and south.
The east and west streets, with two exceptions, lay some 320 ft.

from one another.
