ATREBATES and REGNI (or REGINI)  (Map)

The coins of this group can be divided into the earler uninscribed coins, 60-50 BC, and the later inscribed coins (50 BC - AD 43).  Coin evidence suggests that the Regini, a coastal tribe, were wealthier and more influential than the Atrebates, an inland tribe of the middle Thames Valley.    Named rulers from the inscribed coins include Commios (c.50-25 BC), Tincomarus (c.25 BC - AD 10), Eppillus (c. 20 BC - AD 1), Verica (c. AD 10-40), Epaticus c. AD 20-40 and Caratacus (c. AD 40-43).
