AUGUSTA VEROMANDUORUM
AUGUSTA VEROMANDUORUM the chief town of the Veromandui, who are mentioned by Caesar (
Caes. Gal. 2.4,
16).
The name of this place first occurs in Ptolemy; and its identity with
St. Quentin, in the department of
Aisne, is proved by the Roman roads from
Soissons, Amiens, and
Bavay, which intersected here.
