Gold 1/4 Stater Yarmouth

The Atrebates were among the tribes Caesar identified by name during his Gallic campaigns, and the coinage they produced in the decades immediately preceding his British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC reflects direct contact with Gaulish monetary traditions — these quarter staters derive stylistically from Gallo-Belgic prototypes that circulated across the Channel before any Roman administrative presence in the region. The Yarmouth type is named after the findspot concentration rather than a mint location, since Celtic tribal minting in this period was almost certainly mobile, tied to elite or royal assemblies rather than fixed infrastructure.
