Isca Dumnoniorum

Isca Dumnoniorum was originally a Roman legionary fortress for the Second Augustan Legion (established c. AD 55) in the Roman province of Britannia at the site of present-day Exeter in Devon [1]. The name Isca Dumnoniorum is a Latinization of a native Brittonic name describing flowing water, in reference to the River Exe [1]. The settlement of Isca Dumnoniorum seems to have developed around the Roman fortress [1].
