£200.00 £180.00

The Durotriges inhabited modern-day Dorset, along with parts of adjoining Hampshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire. Their coinage is intriguing due to some mysteries surrounding its precise arrangement and attribution.
The Durotriges issued silver staters, but their quick debasement suggests challenges in the supply of silver during the early first century AD. This scarcity might be linked to the Roman conquest of West Gaul
