杜罗特里吉人

杜罗特里吉人Durotriges)是凯尔特人英国罗马入侵时代的一个分支。其生活范围大致在今天的多塞特郡、南威尔特郡、南萨默塞特郡阿克斯河以东的德文郡。罗马人入侵之后,其主要生活中心(civitates)是Durnovaria(今多尔切斯特)和Lindinis(今伊尔切斯特)。[1]

相较一个部落来说,杜罗特里吉人更像是一个部落联盟。[2] 在罗马人入侵后发展出了铸币制度,这些铸币较为简陋,没有铭文,因此连金币的发行者也无法确认。杜罗特里吉人的社会较为稳定,主要以农业为基础。[3] 杜罗特里吉人的分布范围也主要是依照铸币发现地来确定的,[4] 他们的北边和东边是贝尔盖人[5]
