Dorchester (Dorset). Civitas-capital of the Durotriges. Lying near the Iron Age hill-fort of Maiden castle, Durnovaria may have succeeded a base of legio II Augusta. A large bath-house lay in the south-eastern part of the town and the amphitheatre lay to the south, reusing the site of a Neolithic henge monument, Maumbury Rings.
