[111: The chief proof of this lies in the disappearance of this legion, that undoubtedly took place soon after the year 108 (_C. I. L._ vii. 241), and substitution for it of the 6th Victrix. The two notices which point to this incident (Fronto, p. 217 Naber: _Hadriano imperium obtinente quantum militum a Britannis caesum?_ Vita, 5, _Britanni teneri sub Romana dicione non poterant_), as well as the allusion in Juvenal, xiv. 196: _castella Brigantum_, point to a revolt, not to an inroad.]

[115: To it doubtless the epigram of Seneca applies (vol. iv. p. 69, Bährens): _oceanusque tuas ultra se respicit aras_. The temple too, which according to the satire of the same Seneca (viii. 3), was erected to Claudius during his lifetime in Britain, and the temple certainly identical therewith of the god Claudius in Camalodunum (Tacitus, _Ann._
