Beschrijving voorzijde A small horse depicted in left-facing profile occupies the central field, rendered in the stylised Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age coinage. The foreleg and hind leg are each represented by a single limb terminating in prominent, heavily modelled clumpy hooves. A complex double-curl mane rises dramatically behind the neck in an elongated, decorative volute. A cross motif is positioned in the field behind the horse, serving as a secondary design element typical of this regional type.

Aanvullende informatie

The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and by the mid-first century BC were under mounting pressure from the expansionist Catuvellauni to the west. This fractional silver unit belongs to a period when Julius Caesar's two expeditions to Britain — 55 and 54 BC — were actively disrupting tribal power structures along the Thames estuary. Whether the coin predates or postdates Caesar's campaigns is unresolved, but its production almost certainly reflects a moment of political instability in which the Trinovantes were simultaneously resisting Catuvellaunian encroachment and, per Caesar's own account, appealing to Rome for protection.
