Delgovicia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delgovicia (also Delgovitia) was a Romano-British town in Britain, mentioned in the first Itinerary as being the second station eastward after leaving York. It is also mentioned by the Geographer of Ravenna as Devovicia or Devovitia. Its location is currently unknown. Several scholars have postulated various identifications for Delgovicia:
- William Smith suggested it was probably Market Weighton.
- Benjamin Pitts Capper suggested it was Londesborough.[1]
- A.L.F. Rivet & Colin Smith suggest it was probably Wetwang.[2]
