Comment
Later geometric typeInteresting fact
The Durotrigan E coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized horse and rider. This design is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona, who was revered across much of Celtic Europe as a protector of horses and fertility. The inclusion of this design on the coin suggests that the Durotriges tribe placed great importance on the worship of Epona, and may have used the coin as a form of offering or tribute to the goddess.
