"Itinerarium Curiosum: or, an account of the antiquities, and remarkable curiosities in nature or art, observed in travels through Great Britain" by William Stukeley is a historical account written in the 18th century. The work explores various antiquities and curiosities observed during the author's travels across Great Britain, focusing on the historical significance of sites, particularly those from Roman Britain. The beginning of the text introduces Stukeley's exploration of the significant Roman camp at Pancras, wherein he details his findings related to Julius Caesar's military activities during his expeditions in Britain. Stukeley emphasizes the importance of these sites in understanding the history and geography of ancient Britain, noting various attributes of the Roman camp, including its layout and strategic significance. His observations serve not only to document the physical remnants of history but also to engage readers with the rich legacy of their national heritage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
