CLANOVENTA
CLANOVENTA in Britain.
The ninth Itinerary is
A Clanoventa Mediolano M.P. cl. Another reading is
Clamoventa. Of the nine stations herein given,
Mancunium, the seventh on the list, is the only one identified with sufficient safety to serve as a basis of criticism. Mancunium is
Man chester.
The direction of the line is evidently from north to south.
This places Clanoventum somewhere on the Scottish border, and it has been variously identified with
Lan-chester, in Durham, and with
Cockermouth, in Cumberland.
