Stater 'Insuler Belgic C / Kentish A'

The "Insuler Belgic C / Kentish A" classification places this stater within the wave of Gallo-Belgic coinage that crossed the Channel into southeastern Britain during the first century BC — coins that arrived not through trade alone but carried by migrating Belgic peoples, possibly including the Atrebates themselves, who had close continental kin in what is now the Pas-de-Calais. By the time Caesar began his Gallic campaigns in 58 BC, these coins were already old currency in Britain, circulating across tribal boundaries well beyond Atrebatic territory proper.
