| Aversbeschreibung | Romanised bare head facing left, adorned with a prominent laureate wreath rendered in naturalistic Celtic style with detailed leaf forms. A ring device appears behind the head in the field, and a decorative chain border encircles the design. The portrait displays clear Mediterranean artistic influence, reflecting the increasing Romanisation of Catuvellaunian coinage under Tasciovanos. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of hand-struck Celtic bronze issues of this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelin — the historical figure behind Shakespeare's Cymbeline. His bronze issues were struck at Verlamion, the oppidum that later became Roman Verulamium, modern St Albans. The laureate type specifically suggests deliberate engagement with Roman iconographic conventions, likely reflecting diplomatic contact or trade pressure from the expanding Roman sphere following Caesar's expeditions.
ABC 2697 is among the scarcer attributed bronzes in the series; many Tasciovanos bronzes surface as stray metal-detector finds in Hertfordshire and Essex.
