  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

These are the days of little books, and when the author was asked to add one to their number, he accepted the invitation with the jaunty simplicity of an inexperienced hand, thinking that it could not give him much trouble to expand or otherwise modify the account given of early Britain in larger works ; but closer acquaintance with them soon convinced him of the folly of such a plan— he had to study the subject for himself or leave it alone. In trying to do the former he probably read enough to have enabled him to write a larger work than this ; but he would be ashamed to confess how long it has occupied him. As a student of language, he is well aware that no severer judgment could be passed on his essay in writing history than that it should be found to be as bad as the etymologies made by historians are wont to be ; but so essential is the study of Celtic names to the elucidation of the early history of Britain that the risk is thought worth incurring.

  • The Waning Sword E Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in Beowulf DWARD the Waning Sword Conversion Imagery and EDWARD PETTIT P
    The Waning Sword E Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in Beowulf DWARD The Waning Sword Conversion Imagery and EDWARD PETTIT P The image of a giant sword mel� ng stands at the structural and thema� c heart of the Old ETTIT Celestial Myth in Beowulf English heroic poem Beowulf. This me� culously researched book inves� gates the nature and signifi cance of this golden-hilted weapon and its likely rela� ves within Beowulf and beyond, drawing on the fi elds of Old English and Old Norse language and literature, liturgy, archaeology, astronomy, folklore and compara� ve mythology. In Part I, Pe� t explores the complex of connota� ons surrounding this image (from icicles to candles and crosses) by examining a range of medieval sources, and argues that the giant sword may func� on as a visual mo� f in which pre-Chris� an Germanic concepts and prominent Chris� an symbols coalesce. In Part II, Pe� t inves� gates the broader Germanic background to this image, especially in rela� on to the god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr, and explores the capacity of myths to recur and endure across � me. Drawing on an eclec� c range of narra� ve and linguis� c evidence from Northern European texts, and on archaeological discoveries, Pe� t suggests that the T image of the giant sword, and the characters and events associated with it, may refl ect HE an elemental struggle between the sun and the moon, ar� culated through an underlying W myth about the the� and repossession of sunlight. ANING The Waning Sword: Conversion Imagery and Celesti al Myth in Beowulf is a welcome contribu� on to the overlapping fi elds of Beowulf-scholarship, Old Norse-Icelandic literature and Germanic philology.

For purposes of historical accuracy, it should be noted that, in its initial stages, the organization was styled 'Empire of the West' and 'Roman Empire'; and that the epithet "Holy" did not appear in the official title until 1155. Just an interesting bit of history, apparently our ALEXANDER DE BOKETON b:c 1181 was born under the 'Hohenstaufen Dynasty' with first emperor Frederick I reigning at his birth (c1152-1190, crowned 1155), then emperor Henry VI (1190-1197, crowned 1191).

  • Celtic Coins from the Romano-British Temple at Harlow
    CELTIC COINS FROM THE ROMANO-BRITISH TEMPLE AT HARLOW By D. F. ALLEN PART III (Plates VI-VII) 1. The excavations at the site of the Romano-British temple at Harlow were completed in 1968. During 1967 and 1968 together, 1 silver and 87 bronze coins were found, making the total from the site 206. Having started on the plan of illustrating all the coins, I carry it through to completion in Plates VI and VII. In my last account of the finds from this important site1 I analysed percentages of the rulers, mints and types represented. The twelve coins found in 1968, which were not in- cluded in these totals, do not materially alter the ratios, and I will not, therefore, repeat the arithmetic. (For accuracy's sake I should record two minor reattributions, after cleaning, of coins in my summary lists; the coins are now correctly recorded in the lists appended here. One Tasciovanus I called Mack 174 has been shown to be Mack 175 and one Cunobelinus I called Mack 249 has been shown to be Mack 248. But again these make insignificant differences). 2. The most interesting coins found in these two years have been some notable rarities amongst the coins of the Tasciovanus group. Another interesting new feature has been the presence for the first time of coins from the outlying tribes, no. 206, a silver coin of the Coritani, and no. 205, a struck bronze coin of the Durotriges. The three coins of Tasciovanus, nos. 124-6, for the first time give us a really clear idea of Mack 192.

  • Who Was Caratacus? How a New Discovery Helps to Resolve an Old Controversy
    Insight CHRIS RUDD Who Was CarataCus? How a new discovery helps to resolve an old controversy or over 400 years people have been trying to attribute coins to Caratacus—some rightly, others wrongly. In 1581 the antiquarian historian William Camden illustrated a gold stater of Epaticcus (ABC 1343) in his monumental Britannia, misread the legend as CEArITIC and said it was “a coine of that warlike prince, Caratacus”. Another antiquarian, Freverend William Stukeley (1687–1765), copied Camden’s drawing of the Epaticcus stater onto his own plates, but changed the inscription to CArATIC, which better suited Stukeley’s equally mistaken attribution to CArATICVS, as he called the prince. In 1846 a numismatist who should have known better, reverend Beale Poste, republished Stukeley’s stupid error in The coins of Cunobeline and of the ancient Britons. Worse was to follow. In 1862 Poste published engravings of two silver units of Epaticcus (both ABC 1346), misread both inscriptions as KErATI (supposedly a mixture of Greek and Latin letters), declared both coins to be of “Caractacus” and accused his critics of “the grossest misrepresentations”. Three years later John Evans, the father of Ancient British numismatics, delightfully debunked these early attempts to donate the gold and silver coins of Epaticcus to his nephew Caratacus. In his seminal book The coins of the Ancient Britons (1864) Evans said Poste and others “sinned against light” because cartographer John Speed (1542–1629) had previously published a virtually correct reading of the Epaticcus stater legend. He added: “When any coins of Caratacus are discovered, if such an event ever takes place, we may, at all events, expect to find that Roman letters will have been used upon them, as they always are, without exception, on the coins of his father, Cunobeline, and his grandfather, Tasciovanus.” Little did Evans know that some years later he would acquire a silver coin inscribed CARA, probably found near Guildford, Surrey, now in the British Museum (Hobbs BMC 2378, ABC 1376).

No. 2. COINS OP CUNOBELIN, FOUND AT CHESTERFORD. WHEN upon a former occasion an inspection of the coins of Cunobelin had led me to enunciate a theory relative to the meaning of the obscure word Tascio or Tasciovani, upon the reverse, I was not insensible that the novel idea suggested by the reading of these legends would be a subject for discus- sion. The newly discovered coins represented above, found at Chesterford, and now in the possession of the Hon. Richard Neville, who has kindly communicated them to the Archae- ological Institute, however, settle the question, and support in a gratifying and unexpected manner the conjecture upon which Mr. Wigan's specimen, owing to the indifferent preser- vation of the last letters, threw a slight doubt: the most scep- tical cannot now fail to be convinced that TASC.

  • It Is to Be Regretted That of the Remains of Verulamium, Probably the Largest and the Most Important Roman City in England
    0 49 Notes on the Remains of Verulamium. BY W. PAGE, FSQ., F.S.A. It is to be regretted that of the remains of Verulamium, probably the largest and the most important Roman city in England, and one of the only two in Britain that were honoured with the title of municipium, comparatively little is known. Caleva or Silchester is now being excavated with most important archaeological and his- torical results such as the finding of the Christian Church there. Uriconium or Wroxeter in Shropshire has been explored, and of London, Colchester, York, Carlisle, and Bath a considerable amount is known, and so with many other less important Roman towns. Wherever a site of a Roman settlement exists the earth has always preserved to us some footprints of that mighty empire. Of course, with our knowledge of other Roman towns, much can be guessed at as to Verulamium, but how much more valu- able would it be to make the earth reveal the actual history which lies stored a few feet beneath her surface. The object of this paper is to collect together the scattered scraps of information which exist as to the remains of Verulamium, so that in the event of any excavations being sanctioned and undertaken in the future, it may be known what has been already done. These scraps of information are of so meagre a kind that I have been doubtful during the writing of this paper whether they were really worth bringing together, but having committed myself to the subject, I felt bound to go on.

  • Early Britons in Cosgrove
    Early Britons in Cosgrove The Catuvellauni When the Romans first came to Britain under Julius Caesar in 55 BC there were already tribes living there who had divided territories and recognised areas which could be mapped out. The Catuvellauni were probably a Belgic tribe from the North Sea or Baltics, part of the third wave of Celtic settlers in Britain in the second century BC. They may have been related to the Catalauni, a Belgic tribe of Gaul. The Catuvellauni lived in the modern counties of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and southern Cambridgeshire. Their territory also probably included tribes in what is today Buckinghamshire and parts of Oxfordshire. The tribal name possibly means 'good in battle'. Cassivellaunus, British war leader in 55 BC, is the first British individual known to history. He appears in Julius Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, as commander of British warriors opposing Caesar's second invasion of Britain. Caesar does not mention Cassivellaunus's tribe, but his territory, north of the River Thames, corresponds with that of the Catuvellauni at the time of the later invasion under Claudius. Cassivellaunus had been at constant war with other British tribes, and had overthrown the king of the Trinovantes, the most powerful tribe in Britain at the time Despite Cassivellaunus's harrying tactics, designed to prevent Caesar's army from foraging and plundering for food, Caesar advanced to the Thames. The only fordable point was defended and fortified with sharp stakes, but the Romans managed to cross it. Cassivellaunus dismissed most of his army and resorted to guerilla tactics, relying on his knowledge of the territory and the speed of his chariots.
