Silver Unit - Tasciovanos Tasciovanos Griffin

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, making his territory — centered on Verulamium, near modern St Albans — one of the most politically dominant in pre-Roman Britain. His coinage is notable for being among the earliest British issues to bear a ruler's name in Latin letters, a deliberate signal of engagement with Roman commercial and diplomatic networks rather than submission to them. This griffin unit belongs to a period when Catuvellaunian silver output was diversifying rapidly across multiple types and weight standards.
