Comment
Trinovantes and Catuvellauni, Dubnovellaunus in Essex (c.30 - c.25 BC), 'Branch' type; BMC 2425-40Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian L Dubnovellaunus coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Celtic warrior, while the reverse side features a Roman-style depiction of a horse and rider. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic Britain.
