[QUOTE="John Conduitt, post: 6256872, member: 109923"]Lovely coin. I'm sure I've contemplated buying it...It's probably on one of my favourites lists somewhere. And that map is very useful, I've used it many times! Pre-Roman British coins are very interesting, although usually small and rather expensive in good condition, presumably because most of them are discovered individually in the (wet) dirt. I have one of Cunobelin's (probable) father, Tasciovanus, the first to name the mint on British coins: [B]Tasciovanus, 5BC-5AD[/B] [ATTACH=full]1247655[/ATTACH] [B]Verlamion (near St Albans). Silver, 3rd coinage, Trinovantian O. 13mm, 1.40g. Quadrilobe inscribed with saltire, superimposed on stylized cross, V-E-R-L in angles. Boar right; TAS above, star below (Van Arsdell 1796-01).[/B] Tasciovanus seems to have been an important ruler, founding Verlamion, but is only known through his coins. Another son, Epaticcus, expanded their lands westwards into Atrebates territory. [B]Epaticcus, 20-40AD [ATTACH=full]1247666[/ATTACH] Calleva Atrebatum. 12mm. Victory seated right, TAS-CIO-V around. Boar right, tree behind, EPAT below (ABC1349). [/B] Silchester, Hampshire (Calleva Atrebatum) was the capital of the Atrebates, and is about half an hour from my house.[/QUOTE]
