Deceangli

The Deceangli or Deceangi were one of the Celtic tribes in Britain before the invasion by the Romans. The tribe lived in north-east Wales, where it is not certain whether his territory was limited only to the present-day counties of Flintshire and Denbighshire or west went beyond.

The tribes in Wales were attacked by the legate Publius Ostorius scapula, which attacked the Deceangli about 48 AD. Obviously, they have emerged almost without resistance, in contrast to the Silurern and Ordovicern that the Romans resisted long and bitterly. There is no known Roman town in the tribal territory. However, the Fort " Canovium " ( Caerhun ) lay in their lands, which could also have had a civilian settlement around.
