| Reversbeschreibung | A lion passant or walking right with head turned to face the viewer, depicted in a vigorous and stylised Celtic artistic manner with exaggerated musculature. The abbreviated legend TASCIO appears in the field before and above the animal, attributing the issue to Tasciovanus. A straight exergual line is present beneath the lion, dividing the main field from the lower margin of the flan. The composition reflects the strong Roman artistic influence adopted by Catuvellaunian rulers of the late first century BC. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from their stronghold at Verlamion — modern St Albans — and was among the first British Celtic rulers to strike coinage in his own name rather than issuing anonymous types. That shift toward named rulership in the late first century BC is thought to reflect direct contact with Roman coinage conventions, probably through trade across the Channel rather than any military pressure at this date. Augustus had not yet seriously entertained invasion.
The bronze series attributed to Tasciovanos is considerably rarer in the archaeological record than his gold and silver issues, and surviving examples frequently show uneven flans from the casting process.
