Magnae Dobunnorum
Magnae, sometimes Magnae Dobunnorum (Latin for "The Greats of the Dobunni") to distinguish it from the Magnae of the Carvetii 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.
