BO´VIUM
BO´VIUM a place in Britain, ten miles, according to the Itinerary, from Deva (
Chester), in the direction of Uroconium (
Uroxeter), and placed, by modern inquirers, at
Bangor, Aldford, Bunbury, Stretton, and other unsatisfactory localities south of
Chester. In order to increase the claims of
Bangor the
v has been changed into
n, and
Bonium suggested. (Horseley,
Britannia Romana, 3.2.)
