		The Early-Medieval site of Dorestad was situated to the north of the Late-Medieval town of Wijk bij Duurstede, in the province of Utrecht (the Netherlands).
		Dorestad must have been made up of three parts: the northern harbour district, a central part and a castellum-quarter to the south (the remnants of the former Roman castellum Levefanum).
		The northern harbour district was divided in three parts: the actual harbour in the Carolingian Rhine bed, adjoining on the left bank the trading settlement - the vicus in the strict sense of the word - and behind it an area of agricultural character with scattered farmbuildings (see fig.1).

		The coin was struck at the important trading centre of Dorestad in Frisia, near the mouth of the Rhine.
		The importance of Dorestad is shown by the fact that it was attacked repeatedly by the Vikings, but was apparently able to recover enough after each attack to be worth attacking again.
		The importance of Dorestad's long-distance trade is also indicated by the fact that imitations of coins made at the Dorestad mint were produced both in the town of Hedeby in Denmark and in the kingdom of East Anglia in England.

	Viking Chiefs in Vestern Europe
		At the coast the empire of Karl den Skaldede (Carl the Bald-headed) reached almost all the way to the Rhine, and he immediately allied himself with the viking chief Rurik who for a long time had secured a really good foothold in Dorestad and Friesland and who possibly was the nephew of Harald Klak.
		Rurik began ravaging along the Rhine and Lothar could not conquer him, he met with Rurik and gave him Dorestad as well as other counties in return for a promise of fidelity.
		After the first attacks in the years 834-837 Dorestad was ravaged again in the years 846, 847, 857 and 863 and soon the city lost its importance probably because of the many viking attacks, changes in the reaches of the river and a huge flood.
