Verdun is a small settlement at the foothills of the Gorjanci range to the southeast of Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Jugovzhodna Slovenija statistical region.[2]
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.[3]
