Additional information

Andoco is one of several poorly-documented rulers of the Catuvellauni whose precise relationship to the dynastic line of Tasciovanus remains unresolved. He appears to have controlled a mint in the Trinovantian territory — an area nominally belonging to a separate tribe — suggesting either political absorption or a contested border zone during the volatile decades before the Claudian invasion. The 'Q' classification in the ABC typology distinguishes this issue by specific die characteristics rather than any single dramatic historical event.
