Verica, a client king of Rome whose name appears on his coinage as REX, was driven from Britain sometime around 40–43 AD — his appeal to Claudius for military assistance is widely cited as the political pretext Rome used to justify the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. These minims, the smallest denomination his mint produced, circulated in a kingdom already deeply entangled with Roman trade networks long before legions crossed the channel.
