Procurator Gynaecii Procurator Gynaecii Procurator Gynaecii (Latin for "Manager of the weaving factory"; plural "procuratores gynaeciorum") is an official Roman title recorded in the document "Notitia Dignitatum", a list of Imperial civil and military officials in the late 4th or early 5th century. There were fourteen "procuratores gynaeciorum" in various parts of the Western Roman Empire: The last in the list was stationed in Britain at a place called "Venta". This is usually taken to be Venta Belgarum (Winchester), but it has been argued that Venta Icenorum (Caistor by Norwich) is intended. In the listings of "Notitia Dignitatum" these "procuratores gynaeciorum" are
Venta Icenorum south of present-day Norwich, and a mile or two from the Bronze Age henge at Arminghall. It lies on the River Tas. The embankments of Venta Icenorum can still be seen at Caistor today. The ruins (British National Grid ref TG230034) are in the care of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust and managed by South Norfolk District Council. Venta Icenorum Venta Icenorum, located at modern-day Caistor St Edmund in the English county of Norfolk, was the civitas or capital of the Iceni tribe, who inhabited the flatlands and marshes of that county and are famous for having revolted against Roman rule
