		The Atrebates (meaning settlers) were an Iron Age tribe of Gaul and Britain before the Roman conquests.
		The settlement of the Atrebates in Britain was not a mass population movement.
		It is possible that the name "Atrebates", as with many "tribal" names in this period, referred only to the ruling house and not to an ethnic group, and that Commius and his followers, after arriving in Britain, established a power-base and gradually expanded their sphere of influence, creating what was in effect a proto-state.

	The Atrebates
		They were one of the most successful British Celtic tribes during the 1st and 2nd centuries BCE until after the Gallic wars when they perhaps fell out of favor with Rome for supporting Vercingetorix and their lead was taken by the Trinovantians.
		The earliest coins used by the Atrebates were imported from Gaul and included the large and small flan staters and the very common Gallic war uniface staters.
		After 43 CE Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus was probably a member of the Atrebatic ruling family, perhaps raised in Rome, who was elevated to client King by the Romans.

		Because of their location in Britain, the Atrebates were one of the more successful tribes and also one of the most civilised.

		His reign over the Atrebates was short, and around 15AD he was deposed by his younger brother Verica who possibly raised support among the upper members of the Atrebates.

		From 50 BC onwards, we know that the local tribes were the Atrebates (a word apparently meaning 'settlers' - almost certainly from northern Gaul where there was a similarly-named tribe).
		The Atrebates were led by Tincomarus in the south and Eppillus in the north, both of whom were recognised by the Romans as a client kings.
		It appears that the aristocracy of Atrebates started to model themselves on the Romans they had seen on the Continent; their rulers Latinised their Gallic names, adopted the Roman grid plan for their town, drank imported wine, and used Roman coinage - a long time before the Roman invasion of Britain.

		It is composed of Upper and Lower Greensands and Gault clay in the North and Weald clay and Hastings sand in the South, and the whole area was covered with forest that the Romans named Andredsweald, (Andred’s Wild or Forest), later being shortened to the ‘Weald’.

		Before the Roman invasions of Britain, the area of Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and Berkshire, was inhabited by a Celtic Tribe known as The Atrebates, who were one of the strongest and most powerful tribes in Britain at that time.
		After the Roman Conquest, the Atrebate territory was divided into three separate lesser areas, each with it's own Tribal capital, at Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum), Winchester, and Chichester.
		The reason for the invasions and occupancy was due to the immense amount of iron and tin which were extremely important to the Romans.
