Gold Stater - Anarevito

The Cantii occupied the territory of modern Kent, the primary landing zone for both Caesar's expeditions in 55 and 54 BC and the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. Coinage attributed to this tribe in the final decades before the conquest reflects the rapid political fragmentation of southeastern Britain, with named rulers — "Anarevito" among them — appearing on issues as local dynasties jostled for position, likely courting or resisting Roman commercial ties simultaneously. The name itself is Celtic, probably an honorific title rather than a personal name, though the distinction is debated.
