Caerwent is a village in Monmouthshire, Wales. It was founded by the Romans in 75 as Venta Silurum, a market town for the defeated Siluri tribe. Large sections of the Roman town walls are still in place.
Other attractions in the village include the remains of a Roman temple, while a Royal Air Force rocket base lies nearby. The county of Gwent was named for the village.
