PETROMANTALUM
PETROMANTALUM in Gallia, is placed by the Antonine Itinerary on a road which runs from Carocotinum through Rotomagus (
Rouen) to Lutetia (
Paris).
It also appears on a road from Caesaromagus (
Beauvais) to Briva Isarae or
Pontoise, on the
Oise. a branch of the
Seine. In the Table the name, is written Petrumviaco.
The site is uncertain.
The name bears some resemblance to that of
Magni; but the site of
Magni does not accurately correspond to the distances in the Itineraries.
