Ave to all,

Here is a second list of place-names.

GERMANY
castra scelerata (see post before) is indeed cited by Suetonius

BULGARIA
Castra Martis (Koula)

FRANCE
Castra Constantia (Harfleur? Coutances?) (Amm. Marc. 15 XI 3)

HUNGARY
Ulcisia Castra (Szentendre on the Donau)
in the 4th cent. AD changed name in Castra Constantia

Castra ad Herculem ?? (Pilismarot) = is this Castrum Herculis in Illyricum cited by Jordanes 285?

Any help with Hungarian literature welcome! Cry

SPAIN
Castrum Octavianum ?? (Sant Cugat del Vallès)

UNKNOWN
Castra Martis (Illyricum) (Jordanes, 262)

Valete omnes!

Cepheus
aka Bernard Roobaert
