''In recognition for his deeds Aurelianus was proclaimed in the Roman fashion Amherawddyr, which was the Brythonic pronunciation of the title Imperator. To the Romano-British the title Amherawddyrtook on grand connotations, becoming a title meaning High King of Britainand Supreme Commander. While his authority was not universal, Ambrosius Aurelianus held sway over many of the Romano-British kingdoms and became a great terror to the Eotenas and their allies.''
(Amherawddyr)

will only be for the Dummonia and Catuvellauni faction,(a step above Riothamus and the Vortimore ancillary and all the other high King Ancillaries) It is the restorer of Roman Glory back to Britain.

The title Celtic base: "high king" rig- "king"; thamus "highest
thus, the High King pronounced king Arthamus.
Its my opinion that its a Romano title for Ard Ri as Arthur: Ard Ri-pronounced Arth Ru thus the Romano British form Arthur, is also a title for the Romano culture Dummonia and the regions in Gaul

Riothamus is for only the Dummonia faction. He is the historical British King mentioned by Sidonius Apollinaris of Lyon campaigning in Gaul against the Saxons around 469AD
-''Riothamus is mentioned in two Latin works, a letter to him from Sidonius Apollinaris of Lyon, and Jordanes's Origins and Deeds of the Goths''

Vortimer (Welsh: Gwerthefyr) is a figure in British tradition, a son of the 5th-century Britonnic ruler Vortigern. He is remembered for his fierce opposition to his father's Saxon allies.
In Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, he overthrows his father and reigns as King of Britain for a brief period before his death restores Vortigern to power.

Building-
1-market corn exchange or Livestock Cattle
2-Cattle Farming: Land Owners

MONEY
-Romans
-Romano British
Base level needed:
1-Building-market corn exchange or
Livestock Cattle
Levels:
2-Merchant(money lending)
3-Roman govcenter for pop Assimilation)
4-Curiales class: Land Owners
5-Treasury Treasury (needed provincial civil gov)
Cattle was worth about 1/2 a solidus. A cattle type trade bonus is less then a money based trade bonus. Having a large Roman curial class of land owners will bring noticeably higher trade base bonus return in comparison to the Germanic/Gaelic/Pict/land cattle trade gains.
The game for all the cultures is based on a numerical values but at least the two different income types can be somewhat reflected.

-Both systems have the same points...corn exchange(grain)and livestock but quickly diverge with provinces population upgraded settlements

-The different types economy reflects the trade bonuses effects on ports, markets and the various other economically type driven buildings. The Money system is the most sophisticated and generates the higher bonuses but is the most expensive and more technologically challenging to construct. The Romans and more so the Romano British can digress and begin building the barter type economic systems, but thus forfieting the ability to build the higher level economic and technicalogical buildings that generate incolme in terms of money. This reflects the so called dark ages in ways of loss of certain technologies.

-Eventual Goal: Roman(limited) and Romano factions will have a choice between the two economic systems. The money system being the more difficult.
