ARVIRAGUS

Volume 3 · 65 words · 1842 Edition

an ancient British king, who flourished in the time of the emperor Domitian. He gained a complete victory over Claudius; but being soon after besieged in the city of Winchester, he made a treaty with the Romans, and married the emperor's daughter Genuissa. This monarch lived to a good old age: he confirmed the ancient laws, enacted new ones, and liberally rewarded persons of merit.
