Bronze Unit 'Trinovantian M' - Tasciovanus

Tasciovanus ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, establishing Verulamium (near modern St Albans) as a key power center and pushing tribal influence into territory previously dominated by the Trinovantes to the east. The 'Trinovantian M' designation reflects modern scholars' attempts to group a stylistically coherent set of uninscribed bronzes by die-link analysis rather than any ancient classification — the attribution to Tasciovanus remains working hypothesis, not settled fact.

Bronze units of this period circulated in a pre-Roman Britain where coinage was still a relatively recent adoption, filtered through Gaulish intermediaries rather than direct Roman contact.
