Dover Library – Visit the 1st Century Ruins Within Dover Library
Kent County Council, Dover Discovery Centre, Market Square, Dover, Kent, CT16 1PH
Dover Library is the only the library in Britain that contains 1st century Roman Ruins. This talk is brief exploration of the importance of the Port of Dover as an early Roman harbour and fortification through the lens of the ‘Classis Britanica’. How the fort was discovered and protected, some of the key discoveries it provided for our understanding of early Roman Britian and how the fort sits within the context of the other spectacular Roman remains that are to be found within the town.
A celebration of the fact the mouth of the River Dour has been an important part of story of England’s maritime history long before there was an England.
