Bronze 1/2 Unit - Tasciovanos Tasciovanos Mercury

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelinus, the king Shakespeare loosely immortalized as Cymbeline. His bronze fractions are among the earliest indigenous struck bronze coinage in Britain, produced at a moment when contact with the Roman world was reshaping how British rulers thought about money, authority, and display. The denomination itself is fractional in the most literal sense: too small for major transactions, likely used in market exchange or ritual deposit.
