| Additional information |
The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire and the surrounding region, and their coinage tradition developed later than many neighboring tribes — likely absorbing influences from Gaulish imports rather than direct Roman contact. The "Waltham Horses" subtype is identified by a specific geometric treatment of the horse motif that allows attribution to a distinct regional or workshop tradition within Dobunni output, though the exact mint site remains unlocated archaeologically.
Most Dobunni silver units of this period entered the ground as votive deposits rather than through casual loss, which partly explains why so many survive in relatively unworn condition despite the tribe's territory being heavily cultivated for two millennia.
