Rethinking Romano-British corinium

Abstract
It is suggested that the name generally accepted as the Romano-British name of Cirencester, Corinium, the traditional spelling deriving from a Latin rendering of that in Ptolemy's Geography, is mistaken, and that for philologically sound reasons the authentic name is more likely to have been Cironium, as recorded in the Ravenna Cosmography.
