  • Iscalis was a Roman settlement described by Ptolemy. The exact location has not been clearly identified but the possible sites are in the modern ceremonial county of Somerset, England. One of the possible sites is at Gatcombe which was occupied from the middle of the 1st century until at least the fifth century, demonstrated by the coins of Theodosius, Magnus Maximus and Arcadius which have been found. The full extent of the site is unclear, beyond a specific villa but there is some evidence that the site is much more extensive, possibly forming a village or even a town. The second possible site identified is Charterhouse Roman Town. The settlement grew up around the north-western edge of prehistoric lead and silver mines, which were exploited by the Romans. Extraction is thought to have begun as early as AD 49. An amphitheatre stood west of the settlement. It is the only one in England to exist at a lead mine and is additional evidence of the importance of Mendip lead to the Romans. Another suggestion is that Iscalis was at the mouth of the River Axe near Bawdrip. River Axe is Brean Down not Bawdrip. Another possible site is Cheddar Palace. (en)
  • Iscalis fue un asentamiento romano descrito por Ptolomeo.​ La ubicación exacta no se ha identificado claramente, pero los posibles sitios se encuentran en el moderno condado ceremonial de Somerset, Inglaterra. Uno de los sitios posibles está en Gatcombe, que estuvo ocupado desde mediados del siglo I hasta al menos el siglo V, como lo demuestran las monedas de Teodosio, Magno Máximo y Arcadio que se han encontrado. La extensión total del sitio no está clara, más allá de una villa específica, pero hay alguna evidencia de que el sitio es mucho más extenso, posiblemente formando una aldea o incluso un pueblo. El segundo posible yacimiento identificado es la aldea romana de Charterhouse.​ El asentamiento creció alrededor del borde noroeste de las minas prehistóricas de plomo y plata, que fueron explotadas por los romanos.​ Se cree que la extracción comenzó ya en el año 49 d. C. ​ Un anfiteatro se encontraba al oeste del asentamiento. Es el único en Inglaterra que existe en una mina de plomo y es una prueba adicional de la importancia del plomo de Mendip para los romanos.​ Otra sugerencia es que Iscalis estaba en la desembocadura del río Axe cerca de Bawdrip.​ Otro sitio posible es el palacio de Cheddar.​ (es)
