Silver Unit 'Trinovantian O' - Tasciovanus

Tasciovanus ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC and was among the first British tribal leaders to place his name on coinage — a significant administrative shift from the anonymous geometric issues that preceded him. The 'Trinovantian O' classification reflects a long-standing scholarly debate about whether certain Tasciovanus types were struck at Camulodunum (modern Colchester), then the principal settlement of the neighboring Trinovantes, possibly indicating a period of political dominance or territorial absorption rather than cooperation.
