Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Late Whaddon Chase type Stater from the Catuvellauni tribe is that it features a unique combination of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse, which is a common motif in Celtic art, while the reverse (back) side bears a stylized image of a Roman imperial eagle, indicating the tribe's connection to the Roman Empire. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during this period in Iron Age Britain.
