Durovernum Cantiacorum

Plan of Durovernum, from The Saxon Cathedral at Canterbury and The Saxon Saints Buried Therein

Durovernum Cantiacorum was a town and hillfort (Latin: oppidum) in Roman Britain at the site of present-day Canterbury in Kent. It occupied a strategic location on Watling Street at the best local crossing of the Stour, which prompted a convergence of roads connected to the ports of Dubris (Dover), Rutupiae (Richborough), Regulbium (Reculver) and Portus Lemanis (Lympne). Considerable archaeological evidence of Roman activity has been found in Canterbury, much of which can now be found in the Roman Museum built on the remains of a Roman townhouse.
