POCRI´NIUM
POCRI´NIUM in Gallia, a name which appears in the Table on a route from Aquae Bormonis (
Bourbon l'Archambault) to Augustodunum (
Autun). D'Anville finds a place named
Perrigni, on the right bank of the
Loire, E. by S. of
Bourbon l'Archambault, and he thinks that both the name and the distance agree well enough with the Table. A French writer, cited by Ukert (
Gallien, p. 467), places Pocrinium 1 1/2 leagues from
Perrigny, near the village
La Brosse, where old ruins have been found and the place is called in old documents
Pont Bernachon on the
Loire. [
