		The Deceangli or Deceangi were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Isles, prior to the Roman invasion of Britain.
		The tribe lived in north Wales, though it is uncertain whether their territory covered only the modern counties of Flintshire and Denbighshire in the north-east of Wales or whether it extended further west.
		The name "Deceangli" is probably preserved in the Welsh name of "Tegeingl" for the cantref which covered much of modern Flintshire.

		The country, like the whole of Great Britain south of the Scottish Highlands, was occupied by Brythonic-speaking Celts from about 600 bc, bringing with them Iron Age technology and the Druidic religion.
		At the time of the first coming of the Romans to Wales in 55 bc, the country was inhabited by the Silures in the south-east, the Demetii in the south-west, the Ordovicii in the north-west, and the Deceangli in the north-east.
		After a long struggle, the subjugation of these tribes was completed during the reign (ad 69-79) of the Roman emperor Vespasian.

	History of Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wales has many remains from the Neolithic period (mainly chambered tombs), as well as from the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
		The written history of Wales begins with the arrival of the Romans, who launched their first campaign against the Deceangli in north-east Wales in 48.
		Two of the larger tribes, the Silures and the Ordovices, resisted Roman rule for some years, with the Ordovices only being finally subdued in 79.

		The first attack on the Welsh tribes was made under the legate Publius Ostorius Scapula about 48 AD.
		Ostorius first attacked the Deceangli in the north-east, who appear to have surrendered with little resistance.
		He then spent several years campaining against the Silures and the Ordovices.

		The Iceni's independence was not compromised, and it is likely that Prasutagus was appointed as pro-Roman ruler in the wake of this revolt.
		The following year Ostorius campaigned against the Deceangli of north Wales, and had almost reached the Irish sea when a revolt by a faction of the Brigantes, another officially pro-Roman nation, required his attention.
		The revolt was put down with the assistance of another faction of the Brigantes, probably led by by Cartimandua.

	The Celtic Tribes of Britain
		Their neighbours were the Demetae to the south, the Silures to the east and the Deceangli to the north.
		The Deceangli were targeted for conquest as the Romans considered the druids as playing a crucial role in encouraging the resistance against Rome.
		However, the Deceangli were a warlike tribe (as detailed in Tacitus' Agricola) and it wasn't until 60 CE (the time of the Boudicca revolt) that Mona was invaded and the druids were slaughtered.

		The Deceangli were not a great military power, but their perceived connection to other worlds made them much respected across the continent.
		Though the Demetae did fight when Adiatorix crossed from the Deceangli frontier, and though they were brave beyond their modest skill as warriors, most of their fighting men disbanded when it was time to gather the harvest, and they were unable to sustain their armies on the scale of the Kingdom's.
		On their island the Nervii have come to embrace humanitarian and left-socialist ideas on revolution, and were early proponents of a grand commonwealth of free Geletians spanning the whole continent, essentially world-revolution for Geletia.

	The Roman invasion of Wales
		They moved into the north of Wales against the Deceangli, and established forts along the frontier with the Silures, notably at present-day Gloucester and Usk.
		The ever-pugnacious Caratacus - the Caradog of Welsh legend - moved north to carry on the fight in the territory of the Ordovices in Anglesey and Caernarfon.
		At least 35 smaller fortified camps were built to support these troops, and linked with a network of roads (see map).

	The earliest Celts in Europe Part I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Interestingly, none of the Classical texts refer to the peoples of Britain and Ireland as Celts; instead, specific tribes and leaders are named during the 1st centuries BC and AD.
		By the time of the Roman invasion of Britain, four tribal peoples occupied areas of modern day Wales: the Ordovices (north-west), the Deceangli (north-east), the Demetae (south-west) and the Silures (south-east).
		To understand how Celts first came to be associated with Wales, we must turn to the historical development of Celtic linguistics (the study of languages).

		After capturing the south of the island, the Romans turned their attention to what is now Wales.
		The Silures, Ordovices and Deceangli remained implacably opposed to the invaders, and for the first few decades were the focus of Roman military attention, despite occasional minor revolts among Roman allies like the Brigantes and the Iceni.
		The Silures were now led by Caratacus, and he carried out an effective guerrilla campaign against the governor Publius Ostorius Scapula.

		Probed into Deceangli territory, but withdrew due to political pressure from queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes: this prevented him sealing off contact between Wales and Cheshire and was later to provide Caratacus with a northern escape route.
		Meanwhile, the Twentieth campaigned in south Wales against the Silures and held the Usk valley and Abergavenny.

	Romans in Britain - The Deceangli tribe
		The extent of their tibal terrirories lay in the extreme northern coastal area of Wales; north west and north east Clwyd and northern Gwynedd.
		Like the Ordovician, the Deceangli lived mainly in hillforts, notably in a series of settlements along the entire length of the Clwydian Range in the eastern part of their territory.
		From Moel Hiraddug near the mouth of the Clwyd river, they are in a closesly formed chain along the eastern bank of the Moel y Gaer river.

		Though most accounts suggest that any tribal unrest had stemmed from the north (and hence the warrior emperor's return to the idea of Caledonian conquest), it would seem likely that the frontier regions of modern Wales was a bit troublesome as well.
		Additionally, as I understand it the Ordovices and Deceangli never had their own tribal administrative center (civitas) as part of the empire, meaning that they were likely under Roman military government.
		Though most sources, including archaelogical evidence suggest that the Ordovices were severely punished by Agricola and the area did not recover for several generations.

		At least 35 smaller fortified camps were built to support these troops, and linked with a network of roads.
		North Wales, at that period was largely inhabited by the Deceangli tribe, and pigs of lead from the Roman smelting works, bearing the stamp 'Deceangli', which date from 74-96 AD, have been found in the district.
		A paved Roman road was laid from Deva to the River Conway which passed through Pentre and part of this road was recently discovered.

		The extent of their tribal territories lay in the extreme northern coastal area of Wales; modern north-west and north-east Clwyd and northern Gwynedd.
		Like their Ordovician neighbours, the Deceangli lived mainly in hillforts, notably in a chain of settlements dotted along the length of the Clwydian Range in the eastern part of the tribal lands.
		The most notable export of the Deceangli tribe was lead and silver, which was mined in the form of the ore Galena, most notably at Pentre Flint.

	Deceangli at AllExperts
		The first attack on the Welsh tribes was made under the legate Publius Ostorius Scapula who attacked the Deceangli about 48 AD.
		They appear to have surrendered with little resistance, unlike the Silures and the Ordovices who put up a long and bitter resistance to Roman rule.
		No Roman town is known to have existed in the territory of this tribe, though the auxiliary fort of Canovium (Caerhun) was probably in their lands and may have had a civilan settlement around it.

		The inscription on this ingot reads IMP.VESP.VII.T.IMP.V.COS, which translates '[Cast] while the Emperor Vespasian was consul for the seventh time, and Titus, imperator, consul for the fifth time.' These titles date the ingot to AD 76.
		The letters DECEANG on the side of the ingot show that the lead was quarried in the territory of the Deceangli, the tribe living in the north-eastern corner of Wales.
		The ingot was found in 1771 on the line of the Roman road known as Watling Street.

		The remaining southern area of Clwyd may have lain in the northern section of the land occupied by the Ordovices.
		Two campaigns by Suetonius Paulinus in AD 58-9 are presumed to have been fought against the Silures, and Ordovices or Deceangli.
		A later campaign in AD 60, capturing Anglesey, certainly suggests that the Deceangli were no longer a threat at that time.

		But he had made the most of Glevum, finally convincing himself that what he was doing there was every bit as important (and dangerous) as the Cambrian campaign.

	The Welsh
		The Romans, seeking to divide the tribes of Britain from one another, established forts along the border of the Silures in the land of the Deceangli (present day Gloucester and Usk).
		It appears that the Deceangli and the Demetae tribes of Wales presented little opposition to Rome.
		The Silures and the Ordovices continued to resist the Romans but after the mid 2d century,the Silures appear to have accepted the Roman rule.

		In the first century it had at least five tribal groupings: the Deceangli in the North East; the Ordovices in the North West; the Demetians in the South West; the Silurians in the South East; and the Cornovii in the central borderlands.
		The first Roman invasion took place across the River Dee and aimed at dividing the people of the highlands of Wales from the highlands of the north of what would later be England.
		The campaign of AD 48 brings about the submission of the Deceangli.

	Brigantes
		It was also a fairly typical act for the Celts, who could never stop fighting amongst themselves long enough to mount a serious obstacle to the Roman advance.
		Cartimandua has reasons to be greatful to her Roman allies; in 47 AD, the governor of Britain, Scapula, was forced to abandon his campaign against the Deceangli of North Wales because of "disaffection" among the Brigantes.
		A few of those who had taken up arms were killed and the rest were pardoned.

		The names that the earliest inhabitants of Wales—or, as Wales did not then exist, the double peninsula on the west of Britain— had for themselves is not recorded.
		The tribes the Romans encountered in their time in Britain were known to the Romans as Ordovices, the Demetae, the Silures and the Deceangli: all Celtic tribes which had arrived in Britain from Europe over the preceding centuries.
		Many people in Wales today regard themselves as Celtic, asserting a link ultimately back to these tribes.

		At any rate, near the end of his life, Cogidumnus was given the high title of 'Legatus Augusti in Britannia' - an honorific rank which may have been equal to Governor in status.
		In Wales, the four tribes that jealously guarded their territory were the Demetae, of the south-west, the Deceangli in the north-west corner, the powerful Silures of the south-west and the influential northern Ordovices, who held the holy Isle of Mona (Angelsey).
		It definitely comprised of the Silures, Ordovices and Deceangli, it possibly contained warbands from the Demetae and probably consisted of warrior groups from his own south-eastern survivors and rebels from Brigantia.
