Silvius Brabo
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Silvius Brabo Script error: No such module "IPA". was a mythical Roman soldier and the legendary founder and namesake of the city of Antwerp and Duke of Brabant.[1]
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: Script error: No such module "Lang".) and throw (Dutch: Script error: No such module "Lang".) 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 Script error: No such module "Lang". from Script error: No such module "Lang". (lit. transl. throwing hands).[1][2]
This mythical story is depicted by a fountain in front of the Antwerp City Hall.[4]
