Praetorium

PRAETO´RIUMT here were places of this name in Gallia, Hispania, and in other countries which the Romans occupied. A Praetorium is the residence of a praetor and the seat of the supreme court. The word was also used to signify a magnificent palatial building. The Table marks a Praetorium in Gallia, on a road from Augustoritum ( Limoges. ) At the Praetorium the road divides, one branch going to Augustonemetum ( Clermont Ferrandin the Auvergne) and the other to Avaricum ( Bourges). It is not possible to fix the site of this Praetorium.
