Comment
This type was traditionally attributed to Verica, but noted as possibly an earlier type, and previously listed as V# 473.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Atrebatic D coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized head of the Celtic goddess Epona, while the reverse (back) side bears the image of a Roman imperial eagle, symbolizing the Roman occupation of Britain during the time of Tincomarus' reign. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex political and cultural landscape of ancient Britain, where Celtic tribes and Roman settlers coexisted and interacted in various ways.
