| Additional information |
Verica, the Romanized son of Commius, issued coinage that leaned heavily on Roman iconographic conventions — a deliberate political signal to Rome that the Atrebates were aligned, not hostile. His eventual expulsion by Caratacus around 43 AD is directly cited in ancient sources as one of Claudius's pretexts for the invasion of Britain, making Verica's coinage the numismatic prelude to one of history's more consequential military campaigns.
