- Verlamion abstract "Verlamion, or Verlamio, was the center of Tasciovanus' power and a major center of the Catuvellauni in Iron Age Britain from about 20 BC until shortly after the Roman invasion of AD 43. Its location was on Prae Hill, 2km to the west of modern St Albans. The etymology is uncertain: perhaps the name means "settlement above the marsh", or "[settlement of] Uerulamos [Broad-Hand]" in Brittonic. The elements *wer- and *lamā- meant "high" and "hand" respectively in Common Brittonic (*-i- is adjectival, denoting a place, and *-on is the usual o-stem neuter suffix). An alternative etymology may be guessed via back construction from modern Welsh, as bank of the (River) Ver, where Ver could mean short, or be a contracted form of Veru, or Berw, meaning a foaming or bubbling river (cf Berwyn).It is believed that the capital was moved to the site by Tasciovanus (around 25 to 5 BC). The location of the previous tribal capital is not certain, but there are some clues in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico. One possible site is a few miles to the north near Wheathampstead, where a feature called the Devil's Dyke has been interpreted as part of the defences of a large oppidum near the River Lea.Tasciovanus was the first king to mint coins at Verlamion, beginning around 20 BC. The centre grew under Tasciovanus' son, Cunobelinus. Cunobelinus may have constructed Beech Bottom Dyke, a defensive earthwork near the settlement whose significance is uncertain. It has been suggested that it is part of an unusually large defensive scheme including Devil's Dyke mentioned above.".
