Comment
Volisios Dvmnocoveros. BMC 3330-3336Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Corieltauvian P Stater is that it features a unique blend 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 bears the image of a Roman-style eagle, indicating the tribe's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the period of Roman rule in Britain.
