Commentary
Ce potin correspond au VA 117-1. SI le revers de ce potin correspond à l’ABC 162 avec le taureau à gauche, le droit est d’un autre style avec un œil rond et sans les trois globules en triangle comme sur l’ABC 162.
Historical background
CANTII - CANTIENS (Area of Kent)
(1st century BC)
The first mentions of the Cantii would date from the end of the 2nd century BC. They gave their name to Kent. In close relation with the continent, the coinage would begin in the first years of the 1st century BC. Caesar considered them to be the most evolved of the peoples of the island of Britain (BG. V, 13 and 14). During his campaign in Britain Caesar had fought Casivellaunus who had sent messengers to the four kings then reigning in Kent (BG, V, 22). Dubnovellaunos, quoted with Tincommius was a client king of Rome, in the time of Augustus, quoted in the Res Gestæ (RG. XXXII).
