| Additional information |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — modern St Albans — and at some point extending his reach into Trinovantian territory centered on Camulodunum. The VER inscription on this type is taken to reference Verulamium directly, making it one of the few British Iron Age issues that can be tied to a specific oppidum with reasonable confidence.
The warrior type staters of Tasciovanos represent his more martial coinage output, distinct from his broader series. ABC 2568 is among the better-documented of his issues, with findspot data clustering heavily in Hertfordshire and Essex — precisely the tribal overlap zone his reign exploited.
