«Caerleon»

Intervento di G. M. »

Dalla Britannica (se vi serve la traduzione, chiedete):
Caerleon, Welsh Caerllion “Fortress of the Legion”, town, archaeological site, and residential suburb of Newport, Newport county borough, historic county of Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) and Gwent, southern Wales. It lies on the River Usk.

It was important as the Roman fortress of Isca, which was, with Deva (Chester) and Eboracum (York), one of the permanent legionary bases in Britain. The foundation of the fortress, set on a terrace in a wide bend of the Usk, is dated to 74–75 CE, during the final conquest of the Silures of southeastern Wales. The headquarters and baths were built about 75 CE, and the latest known structural work took place in 253–258. Toward the end of the 3rd century, the legion was removed and probably split up into smaller units. The fortress was occupied, probably by a nonmilitary population, until the 370s. Caerleon, traditionally associated with the legendary King Arthur by Geoffrey of Monmouth, was a Welsh kingdom and lordship, mainly in Welsh hands until 1217, and thereafter it was a marcher (border district) lordship. The medieval borough enjoyed a brisk coastal trade that was eventually overtaken by the development of Newport, a little downstream to the southwest. Pop. (2001) 9,392; (2011) 8,747.
Mi servirebbe un'italianizzazione basata sul nome inglese (non su Isca).

In san Beda trovo questo:

Siquidem post haec ipse, de quo diximus, rex Anglorum fortissimus Aedilfrid collecto grandi exercitu ad ciuitatem Legionum, quae a gente Anglorum Legacaestir, a Brettonibus autem rectius Carlegion appellatur, maximam gentis perfidae stragem dedit.

Qui e qui c'è Carlione in latino. Qui Carleona.

In italiano trovo un Carleone:

La profezia si avverò lungo tempo dopo la morte di sant'Agostino; perchè Edilfrido, re degli Inglesi, mosse con un grosso esercito contro la città di Carleone e fece gran macello dei Bretoni, principiando dai vescovi e dai monaci [...] (Fonte)

che potrebbe andar bene.
