This paper challenges the established view of the `Dobunni' by arguing that they were not a coherent tribe. Suggests that because the word `Dobunni' is only referred to by Roman text dating from between the second and fourth centuries AD, it cannot be used with confidence to define an earlier group of people. Argues that archaeological evidence for the `Dobunni' is rarely examined on its own merits and is instead frequently limited by historical interpretations. Considers that coin and pottery distributions should not be used to indicate the extent of territory.
