As promised my second Celtic capture.... AV Quarter Stater ND unknown mint 13mm. 1.39g. Catuvellauni/ Trinovantes Cunobelinus 8-41AD obverse: rectangular panel/ vertical wreath motif (CAIAL) reverse: 2 horse biga/ leaf above/ four spoked wheel (CVNO) ABC2807 var. 1913 (4 known examples/ this the finest) Cunobelinus was on friendly terms with Rome.
That is a gorgeous piece, John. I like that one a lot. Very nice horse from the biga. It is not galloping, rather it is flowing...
Thanks Check out the Chris Rudd e-auctions, some of the Celtic coinage really is nice. Its really diverse, from the Eastern Basternae tribe/ Colchis/ Black Sea region, thru Balkans/ Central Europe/ Briton. The Celts like the Carthaginians had the "horse" as a prominent theme. John
panzerman, That's a complex composition for such a tiny Celtic coin, & fantastic strike ! This was not a tribe of barbarians.
