Portus Lemanis
Portus Lemanis was the Latin name of an ancient Roman fort, settlement and port in southern Kent. The modern village of Lympne derives its name from the ancient port.
==History==
The first documentary mention of the site is found in the late 3rd century Antonine Itinerary, where it is mentioned as lying 68,000 paces (68 Roman miles) from Londinium (London) and 16,000 paces from the cantonal capital Durovernum Cantiacorum (Canterbury).〔(Thomas Codrington (1903), ''Roman Roads in Britain'' )〕 However, there is archaeological evidence of much earlier use as a naval base: tiles stamped ''CL BR'' have been found indicating that sailors or marines of the fleet, the ''Classis Britannica'', were involved in its construction, as well as an inscription dated to the first third of the 2nd century (''RIB'' 66) on an altar stone, dedicated to the god Neptune by a Lucius Aufidius Pantera, prefect of the ''Classis Britannica''.〔''CBA Report 18: The Saxon Shore'', p. 29〕 According to the 5th century ''Notitia Dignitatum'' (probably recording the situation in the late 4th century), the fort was garrisoned by a regiment raised in Tournai (''numerus Turnacensium'') and formed part of a defence system known as the Saxon Shore under the command of a Count.〔''Notitia Dignitatum, Pars Occ.'', XXVIII.16〕 The last mention of Lemanis in Latin sources is in the late 7th century Ravenna Cosmography, by which time the site, along with the rest of Britain, had long been severed from the Roman Empire.〔(The Ravenna Cosmography: British Section | Roman Britain )〕
