Record ID: FASAM-EB7789
Object type: COIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Silver minim of the Southern Region / Regini and Atrebates, struck for Caratacus, c. AD 40-43. Obverse: CAR with ringed pellet above and below. Reverse: Boar's head right, with (C?)V below. This coin is not published in ABC, but is of similar type to a piece of Epaticcus (ABC 1370). Given the similarity between coins of Epaticcus and Caratacus (eg. ABC 1346 and 1376), this coin could be predicted. The most logical explanation for CV on the reverse is that it stands for Cunobelinus.
