Portus Adurni
Portus Adurni was a Roman fortress in the Roman province of Britannia. Listed in the Notitia Dignitatum, it is generally accepted as having been located at adjoining Portchester in the English county of Hampshire and was later converted into a medieval castle known as Portchester Castle. It is the best preserved Roman fort north of the Alps.
==Identification==
The name ''Portus Adurni'' appears only in the list of Saxon Shore forts in the 5th century ''Notitia Dignitatum'', and the name is usually identified with Portchester,〔(Group 6: southern Hampshire/northern Wiltshire ) - ''Britannia in the Ravenna Cosmography''〕 although it has occasionally been identified with the Roman fort at Walton Castle, Suffolk (which has now disappeared into the sea).〔A. Rivet, C. Smith, (1979-1982), ''The Place-names of Roman Britain,'', page 442. Batsford Ltd. London.〕 ''Portus Adurni'' may be identical with the ''Ardaoneon'' listed in the Ravenna Cosmography,〔 and Rivet and Smith derive both names from the British "ardu-" meaning "height".〔 This derivation fits Portchester (which lies beneath Portsdown Hill) better than a flat location such as Walton Castle.〔
