Toujours selon la plaquette Alan Sorrell, Caerwent a été créée vers 75 environ après J.C, et est devenue la nouvelle ville de marché et centre administratif des Silures. L'histoire de Venta Silurum / Caerwent est incluse dans celle de la province romaine Britannia Prima, capitale Corinium / Cirencester, puis dans celle du Pays de Galles. |

Étymologie : * Eilert Ekwall : Venta Silurum, 4 I.A; Cair Guent, c 800 H.B; Cairguent, Urbs Genti, c. II50 LL. "The original name is identical with the old name of Winchester. Later welsh caer 'castle', 'fort', was prefixed". *************** * Rivet & Smith, p. 493 : SOURCES : - AI 4859 (Iter XIV) : VENTA SILURUM - Ravenna 10622 (= R&C 48) : VENTASLURUM DERIVATION. See BANNAVENTA1. The sense is probably 'market of the Silures'. The name survives in part : it was Cair Guent in Nennius, and the name Gwent is now applied to a large administrative area of S. Wales. IDENTIFICATION. The Roman city at Caerwent, Monmouthshire (ST 4690), capital of the Silures. *************** Formes bretonnes anciennes : - Nennius : Cair Guent. - Geoffroy de Monmouth : - Jésus Collège : |
