DOBU´NI
Eth.
DOBU´NI (
Δοβουνοί), a people in Britain, mentioned
[p. 1.781]by Ptolemy twice: first (2.3.25), as being conterminous to the east with the Silures, and as having Corineum (
Cirencester) for their city; next (2.3.28), as, lying to the north of the Belgae, one of whose towns was the
Hot Springs (
Ὕδατα θερμά) ==
Bath. This places them in
Gloucestershire. The Boduni of Dio Cassius are generally, and reasonably, believed to be the Dobuni, under another form (9.20).
