| Additional information |
Verica was the last client king of the Atrebates before the Claudian invasion, and it is his appeal to Rome — after being expelled by the Catuvellauni under Caratacus — that ancient sources cite as one of the pretexts Claudius used to justify the conquest of 43 AD. These minims were among the final coins struck by a sovereign British tribal authority before Roman provincial coinage displaced indigenous production entirely.
