Dubris, Roman port archaeological site in Dover, England

The remains of Portus Dubris include defensive walls, a lighthouse structure, and underground sections of Roman buildings near the Dover coast.

The port served as a vital military and trade connection between Britain and continental Europe during the Roman occupation from the first to fifth centuries.

The Roman Painted House contains preserved wall murals depicting scenes related to Bacchus, demonstrating Roman artistic techniques and religious influences.

Visitors can examine Roman architecture and artifacts at the Dover Library and Discovery Centre, which displays remnants from different periods of occupation.

Two lighthouses, known as Pharos, were constructed at Dover in the first century AD, with one structure still standing at eighty feet high.
