[Footnote 183: The honorable relics of the Cantabrian war
(Dion Cassius, l. liii p. 720) were planted in this
metropolis of Lusitania, perhaps of Spain, (submittit cui
tota suos Hispania fasces.) Nonius (Hispania, c. 31, p. 106
- 110) enumerates the ancient structures, but concludes with
a sigh: Urbs haec olim nobilissima ad magnam incolarum
infrequentiam delapsa est, et praeter priscae claritatis
ruinas nihil ostendit.]
