Which modern-day English city was founded by Roman settlers as Duroliponte?
Duroliponte was a small settlement in the Roman province of Britannia on the site of what is now the city of Cambridge.
Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately 55 miles (89 km) north of London. Its 2011 census population was 158,434. Cambridge became an important trading center during the Roman and Viking ages.
The site of Duroliponte is located on Castle Hill, just northwest of the center of today's Cambridge and is partially seen in the above photograph. The settlement was bounded on two sides by the lines formed by the present Mount Pleasant, continuing across Huntingdon Road into Clare Street. The eastern side followed Magrath Avenue, with the southern side running near to Chesterton Lane and Kettle's Yard before turning northwest at Honey Hill.
It was originally a hill fort in which the Romans may have constructed a small military station about AD 70. The settlement went into decline during the 3rd century, but expanded after its walled defenses were put in place a hundred years later.
Occupation seems to have continued until the Roman departure from Britain around 410.
