Gold 1/4 Stater - Sam Hilton Wreath / Cross Band

The Cantii occupied what is now Kent — the first part of Britain Julius Caesar actually reached in 55 BC — and continued striking coinage well into the early years of Roman occupation. By the period this stater fraction was produced, the tribe was operating under increasing Roman administrative pressure following the Claudian conquest of 43 AD, making the precise dating of late Cantian issues genuinely contested among specialists. Sills 90 sits in a group whose attribution relies heavily on metal analysis and find-spot concentration rather than any written record.
