Stater - Regni Yarmouth

The Atrebates were among the most Continental-influenced of the southern British tribes, maintaining close trade and diplomatic ties with Belgic Gaul throughout the late Iron Age. The Yarmouth stater type sits within a lineage descending from the Gallo-Belgic E imports that flooded into Britain in the decades before Caesar's campaigns — successive generations of copying gradually abstracted the original Macedonian prototype into something distinctly local. Caesar's invasions of 55 and 54 BC likely disrupted the production of types in this date range, making precise attribution to either side of that disruption a persistent problem for specialists.
