Comment
BMC 3143-45Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobunnic C coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse (back) side features a Roman-style image of a horse and rider. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman rule in Britain.
