VEROLA´MIUM and VERULA´MIUM (Οὐρολάνιον, Ptol. 2.3.21), the capital of the Catyeuchlani in Britannia Romana, on the road from Londinium to Lindum and Eboracum. ( Itin. Ant. p. 471, 476, 479.) It was probably the residence of Cassivellaunus, which was taken by Caesar ( B. Gall. 5.21), and subsequently became a considerable Roman municipium, (Tac. Ann. 14.33.) It is Old Verulam, near St. Alban's, in Hertfordshire, which latter town rose from its ruins; and its celebrated abbey church is said to be built in great part of Roman bricks. (Camden, p. 350, seq.)
