| Additional information |
The Cantii occupied the southeastern corner of Britain — modern Kent — and were among the tribes Julius Caesar encountered directly during his expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. By the time this stater was struck, roughly a generation after Caesar's incursions, the tribe had absorbed considerable continental monetary influence while maintaining distinctly regional stylistic conventions. The "Banded" designation refers to a specific die classification within the ABC corpus, not a casual description.
Van Arsdell 157-01 is among the better-documented Cantian types, with findspot evidence concentrated heavily in Kent, consistent with localized rather than long-distance trade distribution.
