Talk:Camulodunum

Camulodumum?
Who calls it Camulodumum (with an 'm' rather than an 'n')? I've never heard that before. Citation please!

Camelot
The fact that this is almost certainly the source of the name "Camelot" seem to beg mention here. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 06:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Find a source and put it in the article. Nev1 (talk) 16:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Added a section on it. Probably needs citation but I struggle to find exact sources, the link to Camelot is all just speculative anyway. Common and notable enough to justify a section though, I believe. Twelvetoner (talk) 21:19, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Rewrite
Hello. I've rewritten much of the article, complete with references, over the past few days to try and give more info on the town during its high point and flesh out its history. For such an important part of Britain's Roman past, the old article was very scanty and seemed to imply that the town ended with Boudica, and then turned into Camelot...

Please add more info if you can and more pictures!

Fenwick treasure
This major find surely needs a mention: http://www.thecolchesterarchaeologist.co.uk/?p=14844 John a s (talk) 23:13, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I've added a little bit to the Boudican destruction layer section. Please feel free to add more! Razumukhin (talk) 17:53, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I look forward to seeing the treasure in a museum one day. John a s (talk) 21:52, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

venus statue?
In the "walls" section you mention that a venus statuette was found in 1872-73 that may have been part of the temples. Was it by any chance THIS statuette found in 1870, and now at the British Museum? http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1394346&partId=1&searchText=diadem&images=true&object=20526&subject=54324&page=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florimell1919 (talk • contribs) 06:36, 26 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, yep that's the one! Razumukhin (talk) 11:30, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Coin pictures
The coin image entitled 'Coin of the Trinovantes minted at Camulodunon' may have an incomplete and potentially misleading caption. The coin bears the letters CVN which is the usual shorthand for King Cunobelin. This, in turn, means that the coin would not belong to the early Trinovantes period of Camulodunon (25-10 BC) as appears implied by the article text at this point, but to Cunobelin's reign (c. AD 9-40). A numismatist should check this out, and if necessary, clarify it with an unambiguous caption. Klumpenburg (talk) 18:00, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
