Silver Unit - East Wiltshire Snake Head

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire and the surrounding region, and their coinage tradition developed relatively late compared to neighboring tribes — largely through contact with Gaulish prototypes filtering across the Channel. The "Snake Head" series represents one of the more localized variants within Dobunnic silver, struck in the decades bracketing the Claudian invasion and almost certainly falling out of use after 43 AD when Roman monetary authority displaced native issues.
