 The
Romana StoneCan currently be seen inside St George’s Church to one side of the tower door. Discovered when the floor of the porch was lowered on 5th February 1908. The Latin inscription may be translated as “For Carinus Roman Citizen, aged 50 years. Rufus and Carina and Avila his children and Romana his wife had this set up.” For this reason it is also known as the Carina Stone. Dorchester was known to Romans as Durnovaria and carinus was probably a notable citizen. |
