	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Durotriges
		The Durotriges were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Islands prior to the Roman invasion of Britain.
		Nevertheless, the Durotriges presented an organized society, based in the farming of lands surrounded and controlled by strong hill forts that were still in use in 43 AD.
		Not surprisingly, the Durotriges resisted Roman invasion and the historian Suetonius records some fights between the tribe and the second legion Augusta, then commanded by Vespasian.

	DUROTRIGES
		Honiton, Devon) - This town is mentioned in the Ravenna Cosmography, the Antonine Itinerary and the Peutinger Table, the latter two sources both place it 15 miles from Isca (Exeter), probably at Honiton, though apart from a probable Roman road junction, there is nothing to substantiate this.
		It is unknown whether the town should be assigned to the Durotriges or their western neighbours, the Dumnonii.
		The Durotriges were numbered among the few tribes of Celtic Britain which issued coinage, although unfortunately, none of the coins associated with the tribe bear inscriptions.

	Durotriges
		The Durotriges were more a tribal confederation than one tribe, as they were governed by numerous monarchies who were reigning simultaneously.
		The Durotriges were an organized society, based in the farming of lands surrounded and controlled by numerous strong hill forts.
		It is not surprising that the Durotriges resisted Roman invasion, although by 70CE the tribe was fullt Romanised and securely included in the Roman province of Brittania.

	Used vauxhall in poole
		The local tribe were the Celtic Durotriges who lived in Dorset in the Iron Age, particularly around Wareham, five miles to the west.
		During the last few centuries before the Roman invasion the Celtic people were moving from the hilltop settlements, such as Maiden Castle and Badbury Rings on the chalk downs to the north, and onto the lower vales and heathland around the River Frome.
		The Durotriges probably engaged in cross-channel trading at Poole with the Veneti, a seafaring tribe from Brittany.

	Roman
		From 43AD onwards the way of life for the inhabitants of Dorset was rudely interrupted by the Roman 2nd Augustan Legion under Vespasian (a future Roman Emperor) who advanced from Wareham to overcome the Durotriges at Maiden Castle.
		By 100 BC the most widely circulating coinage in the south of Britain came from Celtic tribes in Northern France and they inspired the first generation of British made coinage.
		The coins are classified by association with the areas and tribes that existed at that time - the region from Dorset northward to Hereford and Worcestershire was occupied by the Durotriges and the Dubunni.

	Augustus by Southern CHAT
		Mara Durotriges: I've got the Williams book and have skimmed through it - it's all written as letters, diaries, and excerpts from documents - the parts from 'Julia's diary' are interesting and I intend to read it all through, just got into those
		Mara Durotriges: I want to start at the beginning of the Masters of Rome - I like reading like that - but we don't have to chat on all of them - I can always post if I have anything to say, something I seem to put off doing...
		Morgana Flavius: One reason why I'd like to read the Masters of Rome series is that it gives a good background info on what could have led Antony, Augustus, etc. to do what they did regarding their political moves.

		An exception to the standard unit were coins of the Durotriges which began circa 4.5 to 5 gm, declining to circa 3.25-3.7 gm and then to circa 1 gm.

		Apart from the constant jeers and insults by other children his own age, Ceido was almost always overlooked as if he was never there.
		He also suplements his lack in muscle by fawning all over the biggest man who can stand his presence in the hope that he will protect him should Ceido insult someone with what he regards as "Intelligent, Humourous Observations".

	Durotriges research
		Some time ago I had seen some 850 of these Durotriges billon staters to look through, together with various other groups, this gave me an approximation of 1,300 specimens to examine.
		The 'personal' or 'village' marks would be difficult to detect as all Durotriges coins come from a small area of use i.e Dorset.
		As a mark of weight change, I have not been able to find any standard of weight applying to any particular type and unfortunately I do not have the facility to analyze their metal contents.

		This type is given as circa 60BC -30AD.
