Prehistoric — Late Iron Age
Coin
Prehistoric tribal territories have been mapped out by archaeologists looking at the distribution of coins associated with different tribes. Their conclusions suggest that the Thames might have represented the boundary between neighbouring groups. This bronze coin of British tribal leader Cunobelin was discovered in the Thames at Barnes in west London. It refers to his tribal centre at Camulodunon (modern day Colchester).
