The Legend of Brabo

At the time of Julius Caesar, a dreaded giant named Druoon Antigoon lived in a fortress on the Schledt, who exacted a heavy toll from every bargeman who wished to cross the river.

Any bargeman who could not pay, had his hand cut off.

Salvius Brabo, a Roman general, resisted these practices and a fierce struggle ensued. 

Brabo defeated the burly giant, cut off his right hand, and threw it in the Schledt. Hence the name of Antwerp, from -hand- and -werpen- (throw).
