Verdun (pronounced [ʋɛrˈduːn]) is a small settlement in the foothills of the Gorjanci range southeast of Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia.
[2] Verdun was attested in written sources in 1367 as Wardaun (and as Werdin in 1477, Burdin in 1490, and Verdum in 1494).
[3] A burial ground with 254 graves has been excavated near the settlement.
It dates to the early Roman period and artefacts show the increased influence of Roman culture on the local population.
