CENTURIONES
CENTURIONES,
AD, a station in Gallia, mentioned in the Antonine Itin.
It appears to be the Ad Centenarium of the Table.
It lies on a road from Narbo (
Narbonne, through Ruscino (
Castel or
Tour de Rousillon) and Illiberis (
Elne) to Summus Pyrenaeus (
Bellegarde). Ad Centuriones is between Illiberris and Summus Pyrenaeus, and 5 M. P. from Summus Pyrenaeus. Its position, therefore, is fixed within certain limits, and it is the chapel of
St. Martin sous le Boulou, according to Walckenaer, a place on the Illiberris (
Tech), where there are said to be remains; and this is exactly the point, where we must leave the banks of this river to ascend the valley which leads to
Bellegarde. [
