	Britannia King Arthur: Caerwent
		Caerwent, the eponymous town of Gwent, is rarely associated with King Arthur.
		A residence for King Caradog at Caerwent would seem quite natural but, in light of Barber and Pykitt's theory, it seems probable that he inherited the town on the death of his High-King, Arthur, at the Battle of Camlann.
		Caerwent was Camelot with its Church of St. Stephen.

		During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Caerwent lay on the well-trodden route of tourists in search of the historical and picturesque in Wales.
		A committee was formed (to be known as the 'Caerwent Exploration Fund') and Lord Tredegar (1831-1913), a local beneficiary, was elected as president.
		Hence, Caerwent presents one of the very few opportunities not only to investigate large areas of a Roman town, but also to display the remains of the excavated buildings to the public.

	VENTA SILVRVM
		The Roman town of Venta Silurum, the civitas capital of the Silures tribe, underlies the present town of Caerwent in Gwent.
		The majority of the remaining population of the tribe was gathered from the hills and valleys of Gwent and Monmouth and housed together in a new settlement at Caerwent, which site was obviously chosen in order to keep separate the subdued parts of the tribe from those still causing trouble further to the west.
		The only evidence at Caerwent for a temple built along classical lines is a solid podium built in the middle of the west side of the forum facing east.

		Caerwent Roman Town extended to some 44 acres, making it relatively small for a tribal capital, but its wealth was considerable.

		The most impressive and substantial remains at Caerwent Roman Town are undoubtedly the town walls, which still encompass the bulk of the modern town.

	Caerwent: Touring Wales on Britannia
		Approximately one third of the way between Chepstow and Newport, just off the M4 is the village of Caerwent, site of an extensive Roman town which appears to have been more civilian than military, making it unique in Britain.
		The native Silures were removed from their hillfort at Llanmelin, one mile north, to settle in the new Roman town of Venta Silurum, now known as Caerwent (the fort in Gwent).
		The main London to Caerleon road ran through this purposely-planned town, first built in the year 75 AD, and added to during the next few centuries.

	A Research Agenda for Wales
		On the wider scale it should be borne in mind that the geo-political bounds of the considered area were not Roman ones and research within it cannot be examined in isolation.
		This may be no more than a reflection of effective planning control or other factors, but in contrast to some other parts of Britain we know very little - indeed we may not have sufficient data (or know where to look for it) to follow some avenues of inquiry.
		Apart from the temple at Caerwent, no religious centres have been excavated, evidence is restricted to chance finds and epigraphy.

	BBC - South East Wales Celtic Heritage - Llanmelin Wood
		Speculation has focused on whether this complex of enclosures was the immediate native predecessor of Roman Caerwent and whether it was the tribal centre of the local tribe, the Silures, at the time of the Roman conquest.
		Historians who argue that it was the Silures'; capital suggest that its size, strategic location, its nearness to Caerwent and its apparent demise at the time of the Roman conquest point toward this.
		Excavations found scant evidence of settlement inside the ramparts, but bones found showed that domestic animals and red deer were present.

		Here you will find over 20,000 images of objects, books, letters, aerial photographs and other items from museums, libraries and record offices in Wales.
		The questions most often asked about this site are whether this complex of enclosures was the immediate native predecessor of the Roman site at Caerwent or whether it was the capital of the local tribe, the Silures, at the time of the Roman conquest.
		Its size, strategic position overlooking the coastal plain, its nearness to Caerwent and its demise apparently at the time of the Roman conquest all suggest that it might have been both these things.
