Additional information

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the final decades BC into the early first century AD, operating out of Verlamion — the settlement beneath modern St Albans — and his coinage marks a clear shift toward more organized production compared to earlier uninscribed British issues. The Type X classification within his stater series reflects die-study groupings developed by numismatists to sequence his output, though the precise chronology remains contested.

These coins circulated in a Britain still a generation away from Claudian invasion, used primarily for elite transactions and warrior payments rather than everyday commerce.
