Silvius Brabo

Silvius Brabo [ˈsɪɫviəz ˈbraːboː] was a mythical Roman soldier and the legendary founder and namesake of the city of Antwerp and Duke of Brabant.[1]

Brabo Fountain in Antwerp

According to one version of the legend, the giant Druon Antigoon guarded a bridge over the Scheldt;[1][2] another version has Druon guarding the port, demanding a tax from passing ships.[3] When a person did not pay, Druon would cut off a hand (Dutch: hand) and throw (Dutch: werp) it into the river. Brabo, a young Roman soldier, challenged Druon, cutting off his hand and throwing it into the River.[1] Thus, the City gained its Dutch name Antwerpen from handwerpen (lit. transl. throwing hands).[1][2]

This mythical story is depicted by a fountain in front of the Antwerp City Hall.[4]
