Comment
Dubnovellaunus in Essex (c.30 - c.25 BC); BMC 2442Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian L coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style portrait of Dubnovellaunus, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Roman occupation of Britain.
