Note 26 — HORNCASTLE.
Reading edition
The Roman youth were first instructed in the game of Troy Town by Ascanius, called also Julus, the son of Æneas, and from him the maze in which it was performed took the name of Julian Bower. A very animated description of this game is given by Virgil in the fifth book of his Æneid. See also Stukeley’s Itinerarium Curiosum, p. 91.
