BMC 3134Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobunnic B quarter stater is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side features a stylized horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a Roman-style eagle, indicating the coin's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman rule in Britain.
