	The Celtic Tribes of Britain
		They were bounded to the northeast by the Dobunni and the east by the Atrebates.
		Dobunni occupied Gloucestershire and parts of East Somerset and Avon, stretching into the southern parts of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
		Their kingdom was surrounded by the Dobunni, Atrebates, Coritani, the Iceni and the Cantii (Cantiaci).

	dobunni (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Dobunni were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Islands prior to the Roman invasion of Britain.
		The Dobunni were a large group of farmers and craftsmen, living in small villages concentrated in fertile valleys.
		Numismatic evidence suggests that the Dobunni kings subdivided their land between a north and south zone, sometimes becoming unified in a single ruler.

	Battle of Medway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the same time, the Romans received the surrender of the Dobunni tribe in western Britain.
		The Dobunni were subjects of the Catuvellauni and this diplomatic gain was likely a blow to native morale and manpower.
		There was no bridge over the river and so a detachment of specially-trained Roman auxiliaries (described by the only historical source for the battle Dio Cassius as "Celtic") swam across the river and attacked the natives' chariot horses.

		The proper study of the Dobunni is therefore the study of the occasions on which the word was used, what the author might have meant by it, and how the word has been handed down in the manuscript tradition.
		This division, between Malvernian sourced pottery in the north and Glastonbury ware in the south, is claimed to reflect the apparent division in the Coinage between Bodvoc coinage in the north and Corio in the south.
		The Dobunni were the people who used 'those' coins; the Dobunnic area is the distribution area of 'those' coins; the Dobunni are therefore a phenomenon of the late 1st century BC and 1st century AD when 'those' coins were produced, used, and deposited.

	The western periphery
		The region from the Dorset coast north to Hereford and Worcestershire was occupied by the Durotriges and the Dobunni.
		The early Dobunnic coinage was based on the triple-tailed horse stater of the Atrebates, with the addition of a tree-like symbol on the obverse, common to almost all of the succeeding gold coinage.
		The silver coinage of the Dobunni is more complex, with Bodvoc again breaking with tradition and placing a bust on the obverse of his coins - perhaps influenced by coins of Tasciovanus, and thus indicating some sort of political alignment with the north Thames kingdom.

	DOBUNNI
		It is probable that he ruled over the northern part of the Dobunni tribe, as all of his coins have been found in that region, his contemporary, Corio appeared to have ruled over the southern part of the tribe, though some of his coins have been found in the northen territory.
		Whether the division of the Dobunnic kingdom was an amicable arrangement between two legitimate sons of the old king or was the result of an internecine war between members of opposing noble families, will probably never be known.
		He came to power around AD30, and was probably chieftain during the invasion campaigns of Plautius, though whether he was leader of the faction of the Dobunni that surrendered to Plautius at Durovernon is unknown.

		Another view is that the Dobunni were a dark haired people from Iberia having come from Spain or Portugal by way of Brittany.
		The name Dobunni might in old Irish mean people with dark hair in contrast with the fairer celts.
		Aulus Plautius invaded the Cotswolds in 43 AD and at a large battle at the Dobunni tribe fortress, which was possibly Bagendon, defeated the locals.

	The Celtic Tribes of Britain
		The Dobunni (sometimes known as Dubunni) were amongst the largest tribes of Britannia, with a territory that covered large extents of the Severn Valley and the Cotswolds.
		The Dobunni were a wealthy agrarian peoples who were already fairly Romanized by the time the Romans invaded.
		Many of the Dobunni did very well from the Roman conquest, as can be attested by the large number of wealthy villas in the region.

		The territory of the Dobunni can be estimated from the spread of their coins through North Somerset, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and part of Warwickshire.
		A schism between the northern and southern Dobunni would make the Bristol Avon the natural southern boundary of the Dobunnic civitas.(2) That territory looks remarkably similar to the old diocese of Worcester, created for the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the Hwicce - strong evidence of the continuity of a territorial unit from Roman to Anglo-Saxon.
		That massive earthwork would have made a sensible defence for the free British of the South-west.(5) While on their eastern flank the Wiltshire and Hampshire Avon was protected by the New Forest, on the north their best strategy would be a defensive line along the hills overlooking the Bristol Avon and the Kennet.

		It is likely that a Romano-British dwelling or group of dwellings stood here or nearby, since many Roman remains have been found in the Churchyard, including fragments of an old wall, parts of two wells, pieces of pottery (see a slide show here) and an old coin.

		Although the Cornovii share their name with a Caledonian tribe (it is likely to mean 'people of the horn'), there is no reason to suspect a connection between the two.
		The Dobunni occupied the southern part of the Severn Valley and the Cotswolds.
		They issued coins prior to the Roman Conquest, and these suggest that, around the turn of the millennium, their territory was divided into a northern and a southern faction.

		This week we have a rare gold quarter stater of Corio, of the Dobunni, just the eighth on record in the Celtic Coin Index.
		In contrast to most of the gold coinage of the Dobunni, this type dispenses with the tree-like symbol usually found on the obverse, and replaces it with the first three letters of Corio's name - here engraved by somebody not too familiar with their 'R's.

	The Megalithic Portal and Megalith Map: The Origins of the Dobunni?
		Indeed, the Dobunni are understood to have traded with the Coriosolites of ancient Amorica (Brittany), and the fact that the name of 'Corio' appears on some of the early Dobunnic coinage may be more than a mere coincidence.
		Meanwhile, the Iberian connection to the Dobunni is further supported by the Beaker pottery sherds and vessels unearthed, and in the style of hill-forts which they left behind, in particular those at Worlebury and Dolebury which use stone in construction of the ramparts.
		Further to the meaning of the Dobunni name, I believe it is quite possible that the language of the Dobunni may well have been closer to the Irish Gaelic than to the Brythonic Welsh supposedly spoken by the Celtic/British Tribes.

		West of them were the Atrebates who inhabited the area in modern Dorset and Hampshire and produced an extensive coinage with the three-tailed celtic horse on the reverse.
		Further west, in Gloucestershire and north Somerset, the Dobunni produced their first coin issues based, like the Atrebatic coins, on Gallo-Belgic issues, and owed nothing to Roman currency.
		But the British horse continues to appear on the coins of the Dobunni, further to the west.

		This paper challenges the established view of the `Dobunni' by arguing that they were not a coherent tribe.
		Suggests that because the word `Dobunni' is only referred to by Roman text dating from between the second and fourth centuries AD, it cannot be used with confidence to define an earlier group of people.
		Argues that archaeological evidence for the `Dobunni' is rarely examined on its own merits and is instead frequently limited by historical interpretations.

		The city was founded by the Romans, and it is now thought that the location was one of the first targets of the Roman conquest in 43.
		A flying column of cavalry was sent deep into the land of the Dobunni (the local tribe) to support them against aggressive neighbours from what we would now think of as south Wales.
		Gloucester is ideally situated at what was the lowest bridging point of the Severn until modern technology enabled the Severn railway bridge and then the Severn road bridges downstream.

	INTRODUCTION
		The Dumnonii, for the most part, appear to have been a pastoral people using cattle or unworked metal-tin and copper for exchange by barter, but both the Dobunni and the Durotriges minted their own coins.
		There were no clear-cut boundaries, but the division of Somerset into these three spheres of tribal influence continued into the period of the Roman occupation.
		The need for such fortifications is shown by the destruction of the Lake Villages at some time between Caesar's invasion attempts in 55 and 54 B.C. and the Claudian conquest in AD.
