Comment
BMC 3039-42Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobunnic F Stater 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 Emperor, indicating the tribe's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Dobunni tribe and their interactions with the Roman Empire.
