Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xiii. coins of the central district. That portion of Britain which I have included under the above designation is of considerable extent, and comprises the counties of Bucks, Beds, Herts, Middlesex, Essex, Northampton, and parts of Cambridge, Hunts, Berks, and Oxfordshire. It may be again subdivided into a Western and an Eastern Central district, in which the principal tribes were the Catyeuehlani and the Trinobantes respectively. Besides these two tribes, it will be seen that a portion, if not all, of the country of the Segontiaci was connected at one time with the Central district, more properly so called, as far as its coinage was concerned.

Indeed, at the time of the issue of the inscribed series, London cannot have been of the same importance as either Verulamium or Camulodunum, though the site of the former is now covered by corn-fields, and the latter ranks as a second-rate county town. The Cassii, a tribe mentioned by Caesar (Bell. Gall., v. 21), are not improbably the same as the Catyeuehlani of Ptolemy, and the Catuellani of Dion Cassius. It is a question whether the territory of the Ancalites, another tribe mentioned by Caesar, was not also situated within this district. Their exact position has never been determined, though it has been suggested by Camden, that it was in the...
