Gold 1/4 Stater - Belgae Tadley Wheel

The Atrebates occupied territory straddling what is now Hampshire and Berkshire, and their coinage emerged in direct response to Julius Caesar's British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC — contact with Roman Gaul accelerating the shift from uninscribed abstract coinage toward more politically self-conscious issues. The "Tadley Wheel" type takes its name from the Hampshire village where a significant concentration of finds has been recorded, suggesting localised production or redistribution rather than wide circulation.

ABC 806 is among the smaller fractional denominations in the Atrebatic series, and surviving examples frequently show flan irregularity from the casting process used before striking.
