Durotriges Celtic Coins for Sale

The Durotriges tribal capital was Dorchester, Dorset. Their territory encompassed Dorset, South Wiltshire, South Somerset and Devon. They had no pre-Roman tribal centre, but there was a mint at Hengistbury Head. The tribe was made up of fiercely independent baronies rather than a unified state. This resulted in an unusual density of powerful hillforts. The Durotriges were numbered among the few tribes of Celtic Britain who issued coinage, although unfortunately, none of the coins associated with the tribe bear inscriptions. Sadly, this means that we are left with no record of the names of any of the Dumnonian nobility.
