背面描述 A horse is depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in the characteristic abstracted Celtic style of the Eastern North Thames series. The legs are shown with an inward-turning posture, each terminating in bold, clumpy hooves consistent with the stylistic conventions of this coinage group. The beaded mane curls upward behind the neck in a pronounced decorative volute. Above the horse, a serpentine or snake-head device is prominently placed in the field, serving as a distinguishing secondary element of this type. The overall composition reflects the dynamic, schematised artistic tradition of Late Iron Age British coinage.

附加信息

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.
