Ancient Town-Planning

CHAPTER VIII

236 and lvi.371.The plan given by Mr.Fox in liii.

236 represents his own theory, which may be open to doubt.
Probably the other four municipalities in Britain were planned similarly, though the evidence is too slender to prove it.

At Verulamium (for example) near St.Albans, a local archaeologist long ago claimed to detect a scheme of symmetrical house-blocks, resembling squares very slightly askew.

Subsequent inquiry has shown that this scheme was merely or mostly imagination.[102] [102] J.W.Grover, _Brit.Archaeol.Assoc.Journal_, xxvi.
