BREMENIUM

BREMENIUM (Βρέμενιον, Ptol. 2.3.10), in Britain, is simply mentioned in Ptolemy as a city of the Ottadini. It appears also in the list of the Geographer of Ravenna. In the Itinerary it is placed 20 miles in a north or north-western direction of Corstorpitum (Corbridge). Name for name Brampton coincides with it. Riechester, Newcastle, have also been suggested.
