Durolevum
Durolevum was a town in Roman Britain.[1] The only surviving mention of it from antiquity appears in the Antonine Itinerary, where it is noted as being on the line of the Kentish section of the Roman road known as Watling Street, connecting Rutupiae (Richborough) to Londinium (London).
The town is now thought to have been located at Ospringe in Kent, after the discovery of Roman ruins between Judd's Hill and Beacon Hill in 1931, but this remains uncertain.[2]
