This work, first published in 1853, grew from a paper describing
the crossing of two Roman roads at Cambridge, and the small Roman
fort at Grantchester. However, other Roman sites were added to the
investigation, and the book came to encompass all the Roman and
other ancient roads of Cambridgeshire, as well as the locations
where Roman coins and other remains had been found. The author,
Charles Cardale Babington (1808 95), is best remembered as the
pupil and assistant of John Stevens Henslow and as his successor in
the chair of botany at Cambridge. However, Babington was also
keenly interested in archaeology, and this fascinating work of
local history is the first substantial account of Roman
Cambridgeshire, describing not only the courses of the various
roads but also finds such as the Roman villa at Comberton, the
Roman cemetery at Trumpington, and large numbers of individual
coins and other artefacts."
