Brunswick in Roman occupation?

[QVINTVS ARTORIVS CORVINVS]

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you might be able to help shed some light.

I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and am trying to gain some ground here as a fledgeling Legion. What would really help is if I could find something on "Brunswick", (or what it may have been called back then) such as it being in or near Roman occupation, especially the Wall.

Thanks in advance.

There was this....seems there are no places in the UK called brunswick, at least none
that are prominent as a town or place name. Plenty of business's and associations wit hthe name though.

I think it might be more of a village:

Brunswick village might be.....

the other is a neighbouthood in a larger town, another a small village ore are of Brighton, on the south coast....I passed over thatone, but who knows?

I do know Brunswick was a region in Germany too though a Duchey or something.

Good luck with the search.

The Plot thickens...

The province's name comes from the English and French translation for the city of Braunschweig in north Germany, the ancestral home of the Hanoverian King George III of the United Kingdom.

So now if I might get some assistance to confirm if it is near the wall/fortresses of Limes.

I know it was not too far away from that new battle zone that was recently unearthed.

Again, any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

The city of Braunschweig is about 50 km away from the new battlefield and about 300 km away from Mainz or Cologne.
No evidence for romans in this area...so far. =)

Phillip. The Brunswick you refer to in northern England is indeed a small village not far from where I live, infact it is only about 6 miles away from me and has a bit of a Roman connection. However the other connection you mention in Germany may be the one your seeking, for there is another subject being discussed at this time about a battle field discovered.

Where I mention there is a Roman connection to the Brunswick here in the north of England it is a connection that has not realy hit the headlines yet, but when it does it's going to lift the lid off and re-write the Roman history of Britain believe me.

It all has to do with another frontier system that was discovered by a late friend of mine Raymond Selkirk, this frontier is crossed by Hadrians' wall and pre-dates it Raymond called it his 255 degree line with Roman fortlets every Roman mile and runs from coast to coast. It's rather interesting for Brunswick village is on the eastern approach to Newcastle Airport and the take off westward is on a heading of 255 degrees with this frontier running right thro' the airport and carries on to Maryport on the Cumbrian coast.

I find it strange that Archaeoloists will not take an interest other than to Poh Poh it, but when they do take a look with any interest they will discover that Hadrian only copied what was already there.

Brian,

That really sounds exciting. I for one can't wait till the lids blows off of it!

[PhilusEstilius]

Phillip. I for one would love to see the lid come off and some kind of work carried out on this particular situation. we have in this country a group of archaeologists who call themselves the Time Team however each time I have made any contact with these people they just never come back at all with any responce what ever.

Infact here in the North of England in the Hadrians' Wall area there have never been any Roman Villas found, I not only know where there are 2 in the area but have a piece of Mosaic from one of them but have these people contacted me no.

This is where one becomes frustrated with archaeologists who would dispute such findings without even going out to take a look at the evidence, and indeed much of this evidence was written about over 2 centuries ago.

I don't understand why they would hold such finds back?

[QVINTVS ARTORIVS CORVINVS]

Maybe it isn't so much of a hold back as it is, haven't got the resources... kind of like all the yet undiscovered species of dinosaur fossils we have in Drumheller, Alberta, but not enough Paleontologists to dig them up or classify them?

[PhilusEstilius]

Magnus. It's not so much a case of holding back information it's all to do with things that have been discovered by people who at the time were not Archaeologists, and therefore archaeology does not recognise this work that was done even though much evidence has been put forward including as I have said writings of antiquarians from a couple of centuries ago.
