4: Iron Age Hill Fort on Minecraft

I created my Iron Age Hill Fort in computer game called Minecraft. It was very hard to make. My roundhouse burnt down quite a few times because of the Romans. It was really good fun.

3: Creating an Iron Age Coin

I have based my design on a coin made by the Durotriges tribe. It was found recently in Dorset. It has a duro boat design on one side.It is nearly 2 cm wide and was made of gold. It was made about 80 to 50 BC .



This coin was made by the Durotriges tribe lived in dorset somerset and a bit of willtshire. They were one off the 
only tribes to make and use coins before the romans came ad 43 .






the coins were often called status after a Greek coin with the same 
name. there was no writing on the coins as the celts didn't have a
written language . They used pictures instead some times a face 
a horse or a boat . After the romans conquered britan roman 
coins were used.




this is me  making my coin.
