LAGENTIUM
or Lageolium (Castleford) Yorkshire,
England.
The
Antonine Itinerary places Lageohum between Danum (Doncaster) and Eboracum
(York). It is also mentioned in the
Ravenna Cosmography, but it seems never to have been more than a
roadside settlement.
Coins and the remains of walls have been found at
intervals just S of Castleford Church. Graves have also
been found, and a milestone, now in the Yorkshire Museum, York, erected by the emperor Annius Florianus
ca. 276, comes from the site.
