Verica was the last client king of the Atrebates before his expulsion — likely by Caratacus — drove him to seek refuge with Claudius directly, an appeal that gave Rome its most convenient justification for the invasion of 43 AD. Minims of this type were the smallest denomination in the late Atrebatic coinage hierarchy, struck in the final decade before that political collapse made further native minting impossible.
