Dobunni A British tribe and
civitas. The Dobunni were centred on Gloucestershire. According to the Greek historian Dio Cassius, early in the Claudian invasion in AD 43, some of the Dobunni deserted the British cause and came to terms with the Roman invaders. Subsequently, around AD 70, the tribe was granted
civitas status and
Cirencester (Corinium) became its capital.
