Celtic Britain, Durotriges, 58 B.C. - 43 A.D.
|Celtic| |&| |Tribal|, |Celtic| |Britain,| |Durotriges,| |58| |B.C.| |-| |43| |A.D.|, This type is "copied" from the tetradrachms of Philip II of Macedonia. While the horse on the reverse is abstract, it still looks somewhat like a horse. The head of Apollo right on the obverse has, however, devolved into something completely unrecognizable. The diagonal rows of dashes on the left are devolved from the laurel wreath.

The Durotriges were vanquished by Vespasian and Legio II Augusta in 43 A.D.
