VICTORIA

SOURCES

- Ptolemy II, 3, 7: Ouiktoria (= VICTORIA), a polis of the D(u)rnnonii;

- Ravenna 108₁₁ (= R&C 224) : VICTORIE

It is to be noted that Ptolemy transliterates without translating. Ravenna's form is possibly a locative, with Vulgar Latin e representing classical ae, as often; but it may be a simple miscopying of nominative -a. It is not necessary to suppose it a genitive, as R&C do, postulating a missing noun such as castellum (with Continental analogues).

DERIVATION. The name is Latin, 'victory'. No actual Roman victory need be in question (R&C) ; still less should the name be related to a rescue of the IX Legion as Ogilvie and Richmond think in their edition of the Agricola (1967), 243-44. The naming is probably due to the fact that the XX Legion Victrix garrisoned the fortress.

IDENTIFICATION. The Roman legionary fortress at Inchtuthil, Caputh, Perthsire (NO 1239).
