Comment
Struck bronze type; BMC 2790-2859Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Durotrigan J Bronze Stater is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse, which was a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized image of a warrior, which was a common motif in Roman art. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Celtic tribes of Britain and the Roman Empire during this time period.
