About: Alavana

An Entity of Type: military structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Alavana was a name tentatively (and probably wrongly) applied to the ruins of a Roman fort at about 2 mi (3.2 km) south of Kendal in Cumbria, for which the Roman name Medibogdo is a perfect fit to its river-bend position. The fort at Watercrook was erected around AD 90, originally in timber but then redone in stone around the year 130 during the reign of Hadrian. The fort was abandoned for about 20 years during the Antonine occupation of Scotland. It was refurbished under Marcus Aurelius and occupied until around 270, when its military units departed. Its remains are now largely buried beneath a local farm, while excavated artifacts are displayed at the Kendal Museum.

  • Alavana was a name tentatively (and probably wrongly) applied to the ruins of a Roman fort at about 2 mi (3.2 km) south of Kendal in Cumbria, for which the Roman name Medibogdo is a perfect fit to its river-bend position. The fort at Watercrook was erected around AD 90, originally in timber but then redone in stone around the year 130 during the reign of Hadrian. The fort was abandoned for about 20 years during the Antonine occupation of Scotland. It was refurbished under Marcus Aurelius and occupied until around 270, when its military units departed. Its remains are now largely buried beneath a local farm, while excavated artifacts are displayed at the Kendal Museum. Alone was probably the name of a civilian settlement at Kendal. The Antonine Itinerary placed it 18 m.p. from Galava and 19 m.p. from ) It is a spelling variant of Alauna, a very common ancient name in Britain (at least a dozen instances) and on the Continent, which served primarily as a river name, and was applied secondarily to forts and settlements on those rivers. Sorting out all their locations and their spellings in ancient sources is not easy. (en)
  • Alavana o Alauna​ fue un fuerte romano, tentativamente identificado en las ruinas de cerca del sur de Kendal, en Cumbria.​ El fuerte en Watercrook fue construido alrededor del año 90, originalmente en madera, pero posteriormente fue remodelado en piedra alrededor del año 130 durante el reinado de Adriano. El fuerte fue abandonado durante aproximadamente veinte años durante la ocupación de Escocia por Antonino Pío. Se reconoce como Alone o Alona en el Itinerario de Antonino (donde se ubica en la milla 18 de Galava y en la 19 de Calacum), y se identifica como Alunna en la cosmografía Ravenna (donde se ubica entre Mamucium y Cambodunum). Fue reacondicionado durante el gobierno de Marco Aurelio y ocupado hasta, aproximadamente, el año 270, cuando sus unidades militares partieron.​ Sus vestigios se encuentran ahora enterrados bajo una granja local, mientras que algunos vestigios rescatados se encuentran en exhibición en el museo Kendal.
