payment to cheiftans for help to combat the roman invasion of gaule is the most likley answer as to how the coins ended up in england.
it is often underestimated or overlooked in britain the fact that the "english channel" was merely regarded as a very big river to cross rather than the ocean !
the people of gaule and britain share a common "celtic" heritage, something which for modern polititical reasons or pure ignorance is often ignored by london and paris !
just a quick example ;
in the north of england we say "mam" and "dad",
these are words which are still in common use from our celtic heritage.
in the breton language (which came from all over england,not just cornwall as some would like to claim, although i understand why) it is "vam" and "tad" !
without sounding to much like mr.caine.....not a lot of people know that !!
