Silver Unit - Belgae Danebury Boar

The Danebury Boar type takes its name from Danebury hillfort in Hampshire, where concentrations of this issue have been recovered — suggesting the site functioned as a significant redistribution point, possibly for tribal payments or pre-battle assemblies during a period of acute political pressure from Caesar's Gallic campaigns. Whether the type predates or immediately follows Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC remains contested, but the chronology places it squarely within the most disruptive decade in late Iron Age southern Britain.

Van Arsdell 288 is among the smaller silver fractions of the Atrebatic series, struck to a weight standard that was already declining from earlier issues.
