Comment
BMC 3061-63Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobunnic E coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side features a stylized depiction of a horse, which was a symbol of strength and power in Celtic culture, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a Roman-style eagle, reflecting the Roman influence on the Dobunni tribe during the period in which the coin was minted. This blending of cultural motifs highlights the complex cultural exchange and evolution that occurred during this time period.
