Bronze AVAVCIA

The Atuatuci were a Germanic-origin tribe settled in what is now southern Belgium, their territory centered near the Meuse valley. Caesar described them in the Gallic Wars as descendants of Cimbrian and Teutonic settlers left behind during the migrations of the late second century BC — and their coinage reflects an identity caught between Celtic monetary tradition and Germanic ancestry. This bronze belongs to a period after Caesar's brutal suppression of the tribe in 57 BC, when he reportedly sold the entire surviving population into slavery.

That the series continues into the late first century BC at all suggests partial tribal reconstitution under Roman tolerance.
