Commentary
Ce statère est intéressant avec le segment au-dessus de CA au droit, issu du même coin ou d’un coin très proche que celui qui frappa l’ABC 2795. Le revers avec les deux globules correspondrait plutôt à l’ABC 2789. Le style du revers correspond aux statères BIAC 1816-1824, qui ont aussi une cassure de coin sous le cheval.
Historical background
BRITTANY - CATUVELLAUNI and TRINOVANTES
(1st century AD)
Cunobeline, king
Cunobeline, who seems to be the son of Tasciovanus and the brother of Epaticcus, is said to have united the two tribes of the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes. He was a very powerful king and died at the latest in 43, just before the invasion of Brittany by Claudius I (41-54). He had had three sons including Adminius whom he banished around 40 AD. This son appealed to the judgment of Emperor Caligula. His two other sons Caratacus and Togodumnus shared his possessions on his death.
