Caer Gwinntguic was a late antique / early medieval British kingdom which had its center in the Roman city Venta Belgarum (now Winchester, Hampshire) and the historic lands of the Belgae tribe. It acquired its own form of independence at the beginning of the fifth century as a result of the Rescript of Honorius, which left the inhabitants of the westernmost area of the Saxon Shore to organize their own defense.[1][2][3]
History

- Short description: Latin loanword meaning "approximately, around"
CA|other uses of "Cca"|CCA (disambiguation)|CCA|other uses of "Circa"|Circa (disambiguation)}}Template:TWCleanup2Circa (from la 'around, about, roughly, approximately') – frequently abbreviated ca. or c. and less frequently circ., cca. or cc. – signifies "approximately" in several European languages and is used as a loanword in English, usually in reference to a date.[4] Circa is widely used in historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known.
When used in date ranges, circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty.
