Silver 1/2 Unit - East Wiltshire Charlbury Beasts

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on the Cotswolds and upper Thames valley, and their coinage tradition reflects sustained contact with Gaulish tribes across the Channel rather than direct Roman influence — at least initially. This fractional silver belongs to a regional type named partly for findspot distribution around the East Wiltshire and Charlbury areas, a pattern that itself hints at exchange networks or tribal boundary activity rather than centralized mint output.

At roughly 0.8g, these pieces circulated as genuine small-denomination exchange units at a moment when Roman military presence in southern Britain was beginning to reshape local economies entirely.
