Silver Unit - Regni Petersfield Cernunnos

The Atrebates entered the Roman orbit earlier than most southern British tribes — Commius, their king, had served as Caesar's envoy to Britain before the invasions of 55 and 54 BC, a relationship that soured badly and sent him fleeing to Britain permanently around 50 BC. Coinage attributed to the Atrebates and Regini from this precise window reflects a tribe mid-transition, still producing insular Celtic types while increasingly absorbing continental influences through direct Caesarian contact.

The Petersfield geographic attribution for ABC 686 places production in the northern Regini territory of what is now Hampshire.
