1.  A Denarius, 88 B.C.

2.  A Denarius, 88 B.C. plated.  As consular denarii passed

suggest that the site was under Roman influence by that date
at the latest.

BRITISH COIN.

     25.  Antedrigus, British Prince (circ. 50).

The figures in brackets in the following notes refer to the coins as numbered in the above list: 

(3) The Claudian invasion of Britain was begun in A.D. 43 by an army under the command of Aulus Plautius Silvanus.  He led his army from the coast of Kent, where he probably landed, to the Thames, and waited for Claudius himself, in whose presence the advance to Camulodunum (Colchester) was made during the latter part of 43.  Claudius apparently left Rome in July, and was absent for six months, but his stay in Britain is said to have lasted only sixteen days.

In the pacification which occupied the next three years there are two points of interest to notice.  The first is a series of minor campaigns conducted by Vespasian—­Emperor 69-79—­who subdued the Isle of Wight and penetrated from Hampshire, perhaps, to the Mendip Hills.  The second is the submission of Prasutagus, the British philo-Roman prince of the Iceni.

It is conjectured that his policy led a certain number of patriots under a rival prince, Antedrigus, to migrate towards the unoccupied west.  A coin (25) of Antedrigus, with an extremely barbarous head in profile on the obverse and a horse on the reverse, was found on the Roman area at Aldington.  The types of this coin are ultimately derived from those on the gold staters struck by Philip of Makedon, father of Alexander the Great.  The original had a young male head (? of Apollo) on obverse and a two-horse chariot as reverse type.  The influence came to Britain from Gaul, where the coins of Makedon may have arrived by the valleys of Danube and Rhine; but it is not improbable that the types reached Gaul through Massilia (Marseilles).
