Dumnissus, Archaeological site near Kirchberg, Germany
The excavation grounds contain remains of Celtic and Roman settlements located at an elevation of 400 meters above sea level in the Hunsrück region.
The settlement changed from Celtic Dumno to Roman Dumnissus in the first century BCE, becoming a military and trading post along the route between Trier and Bingen.
Roman poet Decimius Magnus Ausonius mentioned Dumnissus in his work Mosella in 368 CE, describing it as a solitary road through empty forests.
The archaeological area lies 37 kilometers from Bingen, corresponding to the ancient measurement of 16 leagues noted in the Tabula Peutingeriana Roman map.
The name Dumnissus derives from the Celtic word dubno or dumno, meaning deep or high, reflecting the elevated position of the current Denzen district.
