Verlucio
VERLU´CIO a place in Britannia Romana, on the road from Isca Silurum to Calleva (Itin. Ant. p. 486), and apparently in the territory of the Dobuni. It has been variously identified with the village of Lecklcham on the Avon, with Westbury, Spy Park, and Whetham.
[T.H.D]Identified from its position in the Antonine Itinerary (468.4: the very bright town) with Sandy Lane, 8 km NW of Devizes, on the Roman road from Aquae Sulis (Bath) to Cunetio (Mildenhall). Finds of tesserae, pottery, coins, and brooches have been made over a large area, and several villas are known in the vicinity, but the extent of the settlement and the length of its occupation have not been determined.
