杜羅特里吉人
杜羅特里吉人（Durotriges）是凱爾特人在英國羅馬入侵時代的一個分支。其生活範圍大致在今天的多塞特郡、南威爾特郡、南薩默塞特郡和阿克斯河以東的德文郡。羅馬人入侵之後，其主要生活中心（civitates）是Durnovaria（今多爾切斯特）和Lindinis（今伊爾切斯特）。[1]
相較一個部落來說，杜羅特里吉人更像是一個部落聯盟。[2] 在羅馬人入侵後發展出了鑄幣制度，這些鑄幣較為簡陋，沒有銘文，因此連金幣的發行者也無法確認。杜羅特里吉人的社會較為穩定，主要以農業為基礎。[3] 杜羅特里吉人的分佈範圍也主要是依照鑄幣發現地來確定的，[4] 他們的北邊和東邊是貝爾蓋人。[5]
