Bronze 1/2 Unit - Rues Rues Concave Squares

The Catuvellauni and Trinovantes occupied a complex political relationship in the decades surrounding the turn of the millennium — Cunobelin eventually unified both under his rule, but this issue predates that consolidation, falling within the contested period when the two tribes were maneuvering for dominance in southeastern Britain. These small bronzes circulated as low-denomination currency within a local market economy that Roman merchants were already beginning to penetrate through cross-Channel trade. The concave square motif places it within a distinctive regional die tradition confined to a tight geographic cluster around Camulodunum.
