Comment
Trinovantes & Catuvellauni; BMC 1968-71Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian W coin is that it features a unique reverse design that depicts a stylized horse and rider, which is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona. This imagery highlights the cultural and religious practices of the Catuvellauni tribe, who were known for their skilled horsemanship and their reverence for Epona as a symbol of fertility and prosperity.
