Venta Silurum

A fortified town in Roman Britain, located in southeast Wales. Venta was established by the Romans in around 75 AD as an administrative center for the defeated Silures tribe in Roman Wales. The town, situated on the Roman road between Isca Augusta (Caerleon) and Glevum, and close to the Sabrina aestuarium, was (in contrast with nearby "Isca") established for civilian administration rather than military purposes.
Veta Silurum later became the town of Caerwent.
