Nennius' Historia has largely been cast aside as near useless for historical study, though it is both an interesting reflection on issues important in the 9/10th Century**, and well constructed given the limitations of the age¹. Most interest in the work comes from the fact that it contains a number of dubious details on King Arthur².

Nennius professed he made a "heap of all that [he] found"³, so the work is perhaps best regarded as a "Reader" in Dark Age History**. The Wonders (and associated list of cities⁴) in particular, are widely excepted as an inserted older work⁵.

Different manuscripts have different Wonders in them, but the list on the left tries to cover them all. In addition, in most cases the locations of the Wonders were latinized in the manuscripts, and it is hard to locate some. This site follows the most likely options⁶. The following links give further details that might be of interest.
