How calm the

“Virconium,” it
says, is the Latin form
Of the Common Brittonic
uiroconion
Meaning settlement of the
werewolf.
It tells of the
legions stationed there
The bath-houses, the
forum, the bishops.
In the sixth
century, for reasons unknown,
The old basilica was
demolished
And “replaced with
new timber-framed buildings
On rubble platforms.” Though there has been
Some excavation most
of the town
Remains buried.
There is no word spared
For the werewolf or
whether he became
