Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobunnic G - Catti coin is that it features a unique combination 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 Emperor, indicating the influence of Roman rule over the Dobunni tribe. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of Celtic Britain during the 1st century AD, when the Roman Empire was expanding its territories and interacting with local Celtic tribes.
