Comment
Trinovantes & Catuvellauni; Floral type; BMC 2417-21Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian J coin is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized image of a Roman warship, which reflects the influence of Roman culture on the Trinovantes tribe during this period. This blending of cultural styles is a fascinating example of how different cultures can come together and influence each other's art and traditions.
