Description

Iron Age gold coin of Tasciovanus, dating to pre-43 AD depicting a warrior on horseback. This type of coin is known as a stater. Celtic tribes before the conquest were ruled by kings and Tasciovanus ruled the local Catuvellani tribe. Judging by the letters VER, VERO and VERL, short for Verlamion, on his coins it appears that Tasciovanus had his capital and royal mint here.
