I reverted the page move made on 29 January 2014 when this page was moved to Alavna Veniconvm. There are two issues here. Firstly, the convention I think, on Wikipedia is that when the letter "u" is meant in a Roman name then the "u" should be used regardless of how the Romans spelled the name, thus the page should have been moved to Alauna Veniconum. Secondly, and rather more importantly, the identification of this site with the "Alauna" in Ptolemy's Geography is rather doubtful. As far as Scotland is concerned there's a problem in trying to relate most of Ptolemy's place names with actual sites, and the identification of Ardoch with Ptolemy's Alauna is rather tentative. I also don't know where this "Veniconum" suffix has come from. It is given as such on the roman-britain.org site but as far as I can tell it is not in Ptolemy. Anyway I shall see if I can find scholarly references concerning this. Pasicles ( talk) 19:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Alcester#Historical_significance is another case. Does somebody knows what's the origin of "Veniconum"? -- Saturnian ( talk) 20:52, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Alexander Gordon’s tale of the underground passage. This section mentions the Tay, some 24 miles away. More likely is the tunnel under one of the two nearest rivers, or is the reported speech correct? 146.90.139.0 ( talk) 21:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
