Sinopsis

Excerpt from Exeter

Of in the nature of beauty and romance, particularly where it flows past the wooded grounds of Powder ham Castle, the Devonshire seat Of the great Courtenay family. Truly there is much to redeem modern Exeter and make it interesting over and above its historical atmosphere. Yet with comparatively few vestiges of age the city has an historical past. In both a religious and a military sense she has played a part in the annals of England, and more than one ancient docu ment in the Library of the Dean and Chapter bears testimony to her honour, her valour, and her glory.

Excerpt from Exeter

As compared with the sister counties of Cornwall and Dorset, Devonshire is not particularly well repre sented in memorials of the Roman occupation, although an immense number of Roman coins have been un earthed at various times. Coins, however, unless found with definite structural remains, indicate presence rather than a settled occupation, for large quantities of the Roman coinage must have continued in circulation long after the last of the legions of imperial Rome had departed from British shores. The few Roman antiquities of Exeter that have been found are impor tant in a comparative sense, although they contrast poorly in structural character with those of our other romano-british towns. It has been held that not only were the foundations of the city walls Roman, but part of the existing remains of Rougemont Castle have also been assigned to this period.
