ARVIRAGUS

Volume 3 · 62 words · 1860 Edition

a British king 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 Gemissa. This monarch lived to a good old age: he confirmed the ancient laws, enacted new ones, and liberally rewarded persons of merit.
