Saint Quentin

Saint-Quentin is a cooperative in the Aisne division in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It has been recognized as the Augusta Veromanduorum of ancient history. It is named after Saint Quentin, who is said to have been martyred there in the third century. The city was established by the Romans, in the Augustean time frame, to supplant the oppidum of Vermand 11 km away as the capital of Viromandui Celtic Belgian individuals who involved the district.

It got the name of Augusta Viromanduorum, Augusta of the Viromandui, out of appreciation for the Emperor Augustus. The site is that of a passage over the River Somme. Amid the late Roman time frame, it is conceivable that the civitas capital was exchanged back to Vermand whose name originates from Veromandis; nothing identifying with the 4th century has been found in Saint-Quentin.
