Silver Unit - Regni Six Torcs

The Atrebates entered Roman historical record abruptly in 54 BC when Caesar named Commios as their client king — the same Commios who had served as his diplomatic envoy to Britain the previous year, then switched sides during the revolt, and eventually fled to Britain permanently around 50 BC to escape Roman reach. The Six Torcs series is broadly attributed to the tribal authority operating in the Sussex-Hampshire region during exactly this turbulent transition, when coinage production was less a financial instrument than a statement of continued political existence under Roman pressure.
