Magnis (Carvoran)
Magnis or Magna was a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall in northern Britain. Its ruins are now known as and are located near Carvoran, Northumberland, in northern England. It is thought to have been sited with reference to the Stanegate Roman road, before the building of Hadrian's Wall, to which it is not physically attached. In fact the Vallum ditch unusually goes north of the fort, separating it from the Wall. The fort is now the site of the Roman Army Museum. Name The fort at Carvoran is generally identified with the 'Magnis' which appears both in the ''Ravenna Cosmography'' and the ''Notitia Dignitatum''. Further evidence for the name comes from a fragmentary inscription ( RIB 1825) apparently seen by the antiquary William Hutchinson in 1766 but which is now lost, which referred to "numerus Magnee(n)s(ium)" ("of the unit of Magn ......").

Magnae, sometimes Magnae Dobunnorum (Latin for "The Greats of the Dobunni") to distinguish it from the Magnae of the Carvetii on Hadrian's Wall in northern Britain, was a Romano-British town and an important market centre for the British Dobunni tribe, located near modern-day Kenchester in Herefordshire, England. The town was shaped as an irregular hexagon, with a single main street along the line of the main Roman Road running east–west through the area, and an irregular pattern of side streets with tightly packed buildings leading off it. Name The Roman town is securely identified with the "Magnis" which appears both in the ''Antonine Itinerary'' and ''Ravenna Cosmography''. The town is today sometimes referred to under the name "Magna". However, the town was not a colonia, nor a tribal capital, and Rivet and Smith derive the name from the Celtic word ''maen'' meaning 'stone' or 'rock'. The name may apply to the hills visible to the north of Kenchester. History The ru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
